This soil survey is a publication of the National Cooperative Soil Survey, a joint effortof the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, Stateagencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The NaturalResources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) hasleadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey.

Major fieldwork for this soil survey was completed in 1994. Soil names anddescriptions were approved in 1998. Unless otherwise indicated, statements in thispublication refer to conditions in the survey area in 1995. This survey was madecooperatively by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the University ofFlorida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Agricultural Experiment Stations,and Soil and Water Science Department; the Florida Department of Agriculture andConsumer Services; and the Florida Department of Transportation. The survey is part ofthe technical assistance furnished to the Taylor County Soil and Water ConservationDistrict. The Taylor County Board of County Commissioners contributed office space forthe soil survey project office.

This soil survey contains information that affects land use planning in this surveyarea. It contains predictions of soil behavior for selected land uses. The survey alsohighlights soil limitations, improvements needed to overcome the limitations, and theimpact of selected land uses on the environment.

This soil survey is designed for many different users. Farmers, ranchers, foresters,and agronomists can use it to evaluate the potential of the soil and the managementneeded for maximum food and fiber production. Planners, community officials,engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers can use the survey to plan land use,select sites for construction, and identify special practices needed to ensure properperformance. Conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, wildlifemanagement, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the survey to help themunderstand, protect, and enhance the environment.

Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may imposespecial restrictions on land use or land treatment. The information in this report isintended to identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or landtreatment decisions. Statements made in this report are intended to help the land usersidentify and reduce the effects of soil limitations that affect various land uses. Thelandowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws andregulations.

Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils areseasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are shallow to bedrock. Some are toounstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorlysuited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorlysuited to basements or underground installations.

These and many other soil properties that affect land use are described in this soilsurvey. Broad areas of soils are shown on the general soil map. The location of each soilis shown on the detailed soil maps. Each soil in the survey area is described.Information on specific uses is given for each soil.

TAYLOR COUNTY is on the coast of the Gulf of Mexicoin the northwestern part of the Florida Peninsula(fig. 1). It is bordered on the north by Madison County,on the west by Jefferson County, on the south by DixieCounty, and on the east by Lafayette County. TaylorCounty has an irregular outline; the Acuilla River formspart of the western border, and the Steinhatchee Riverforms part of the southern border.

The total area of the county, including areas ofwater, is 667,700 acres, or 1,055 square miles. Thecounty is about 44 miles long from north to south and37 miles from east to west.

General Nature of the CountyThis section gives general information about the

county. It describes the climate, seasonal high watertables, history and development, farming,transportation facilities, and mineral resources.

Climate

The climate in Taylor County is characterized bylong, hot, humid summers and mild winters (USDC,1990). It is favorable for the production of crops,livestock, and pine trees. The moderating influence of

the Gulf of Mexico on maximum temperatures insummer and on minimum temperatures in winter ispronounced along the coast but diminishes a few milesinland.

the period 1961 to 1990. Table 2 shows probable datesof the first freeze in fall and the last freeze in spring.Table 3 provides data on length of the growing season.

In winter, the average temperature is 57 degrees Fand the average daily minimum temperature is 44degrees F. The lowest temperature on record, whichoccurred at Perry on January 21, 1985, is 7 degrees F.In summer, the average temperature is 81 degrees andthe average daily maximum temperature is 91 degrees.The highest recorded temperature, which occurred onJuly 15, 1980, is 104 degrees F.

Of the total annual precipitation, 36 inches, or 62percent, usually falls in April through September, whichincludes the growing season for most crops. In 2 yearsout of 10, the rainfall in April through September is lessthan 19 inches. The heaviest 1-day rainfall during theperiod of record was 10.26 inches at Perry on July 25,1980. Thunderstorms occur on about 83 days eachyear, and most occur in summer.

Growing degree days, shown in table 1, areequivalent to “heat units.” During the month, growingdegree days accumulate by the amount that theaverage temperature each day exceeds a basetemperature (40 degrees F). The normal monthlyaccumulation is used to schedule single or successiveplantings of a crop between the last freeze in springand the first freeze in fall.

Snowfall is rare. No measurable snowfall occurs in99 percent of the winters. In 1 percent, the snowfall,usually of short duration, is less than 1 inch.

The average relative humidity in midafternoon isabout 55 percent. Humidity is higher at night, and theaverage at dawn is about 90 percent. The sun shines65 percent of the time possible in summer and 60percent in winter. The prevailing wind is from the south.Average windspeed is highest, 8 miles per hour, inspring.

Every few years a tropical storm or hurricane affectsthe area. During a two or three day period, 15 or moreinches of precipitation can fall.

Seasonal Hig h Water Tables

The seasonal high water table is the depth to freewater that stands in an unlined borehole for asignificant period of time (more than a few weeks)during the wettest seasons of the year. In TaylorCounty, the soils typically are wettest from lateDecember through March and from June throughSeptember. These wet periods correspond to theseasonally highest periods of rainfall. More rain falls inthe summer than in the winter; however, moreevapotranspiration occurs in the summer (SSSA,

1997). The driest part of the year is October throughthe first part of December. This dry period correspondsto the seasonally lowest period of rainfall. The seconddriest part of the year is April and May. During thesemonths evapotranspiration rates are much greater thanin the winter, and although more rain falls than inNovember and early December, less rain falls than inwinter or summer.

History and Development

Mary Lou Whitfield, historian, prepared this section.

Indians occupied Florida for thousands of yearsbefore the arrival of the first European explorers. TheIndians were from five main groups: the Timucua,Apalachee, Ais, Tekesta, and Calusa. The TimucuaIndians, who had fifteen different tribes, occupied thearea that is now Taylor County (Fernald, 1981).

In 1513, Juan Ponce de Leon landed on the coast ofwhat is now northeastern Florida and was credited withdiscovering Florida. He named the land La Florida (La-Flor-EE-da) for Pascua Florida, Spain’s Easter Feast ofthe Flowers (Florida Department of State, n.d.). WhenSpain lost control of the area to the English in 1762,the Timucuan Indians lost their tribal identify and wereabsorbed by the Seminole Indian tribe. Spain regainedpossession of the area in 1783 and encouragedmigration into Florida through land grants.

The early Spanish explorers are believed to haveestablished a mission on the lower Fenholloway Riverin the area now known as the Thomas Mill Hammock(Cash, 1948).

During the settlement period, the area supported atribe of Seminole Indians whom the settlers considereda constant source of peril. General Andrew Jacksonwas sent to punish these Seminole Indians for theirraids. His troops engaged them at Natural Bridge onthe Econfina River on April 12, 1818 (Cash, 1948). Noother fighting in Taylor County was reported.

Florida became an American territory in 1821.In 1838, General Zachary Taylor, for whom the

county was later named, commanded troops againstthe warring Seminole Indians during the SeminoleIndian War of 1835–1842. He and his troops built fiveforts on the Econfina, Fenholloway, and SteinhatcheeRivers.

Florida became a state on March 3, 1845.In the early 1850’s, the first settlement, “Pisgah,”

was established. A post office named “Fenholloway”was established at Pisgah on May 6, 1854. It ispossible that one of the houses in Pisgah was the firsthouse in Taylor County made from sawed lumberinstead of being of log construction. This house was

Taylor County, Florida 13

used in the later part of the Civil War as headquartersfor Confederate Major Charles H. Canfield.

Taylor County, named in honor of President ZacharyTaylor, was partitioned from Madison County onDecember 23, 1856, as Florida’s 34th county. In 1860,the first census of the county reported the populationat 1,384. The next census showed an increase of 99.

A post office named “Rose Head” was established inthe county on February 23, 1869. On May 28, 1875,the name was changed to Perry.

The first turpentine still was built in 1899 about 5miles north of Perry. Gum rosin was produced from thelarge areas of virgin slash pine and longleaf pine in thecounty.

The first railroad to enter the county was the SouthGeorgia Railway. It entered the county in 1902 from thenorth. Other railroads entered the county to transporttimber products in the early 1900’s from the east andsouth. The only railroad still in the county is theSouthern Railway System, which uses the old route ofthe South Georgia Railway.

Taylor County has grown slowly over the years. Ithas remained mostly rural, dependent uponcommercial woodland production and agriculture. The1990 census reported a population of 20,002. Of thistotal, 8,231 were in the city of Perry.

FarmingMary Lou Whitfield, historian, prepared this section.

The favorable climate and soils in Taylor Countyattracted settlers from the southeastern states fromabout 1815 to the late 1820’s and early 1830’s. Duringthe Civil War, beef cattle, hogs, and sugarcane weregrown for the troops. Also, salt was produced fromboiled-down seawater.

In the 1870’s, agriculture in the county consisted ofsmall farms raising scrub cattle and hogs on an openrange. Cedar trees were cut along coastal swamps andthen dragged by teams of oxen or floated in streams tothe Gulf of Mexico. These cedar logs were rafted toCedar Key for processing into pencils.

The first timber mills in Taylor County processed redcypress, yellow pine, or both. Pine was used forbuilding homes and other buildings; oak and cedar wereused for furniture. The wood was also processed forautomobile parts and skiing equipment.

Cotton was grown in the county following the CivilWar. It thrived until 1916 when the Mexican boll weevilall but wiped it out.

In the 1920’s, dipping cattle became compulsory forthe eradication of the Texas fever tick and thousandsof range cattle were sold off. These cattle wererestocked with Brahma, Hereford, and Angus beef

cattle, resulting in improved herds. Several dairy herdsof Jerseys and Guernseys were in operation for atime.

In 1940, statewide legislation required fencinglivestock off public highways. In 1964, a countyreferendum required stockholders to keep their stockwithin fenced-in areas. This brought the open range to aclose.

In the early 1950’s, a cellulose plant wasestablished at Foley, the former location of a wood-pulpprocessing plant.

A wide variety of crops, including flue-curedtobacco, corn, watermelons, peanuts, soybeans,peaches, wheat, oats, rye grains, and field peas havebeen grown in the county. These crops are still grown inthe county. Most of the cropland, however, has beenconverted to pasture or the production of pine.

More than 20,500 acres in the county is used forcrops and pasture (University of Florida, 1994). Theacreage used for crops and pasture has graduallydecreased as land is used for urban development andtimber production.

Transportation Facilities

Taylor County is served by a good network ofcounty, State, and Federal highways. U.S. Highway 19crosses the county in a north-south route, U.S.Highway 27 crosses the county in a north-east route,U.S. Highway 98 crosses the county in a west-southroute, and U.S. Highway 221 crosses the county northfrom Perry. All of the highways pass through the Perry.They generally follow the same routes as the first“hardroads” constructed beginning in 1916. Numerousforestry roads have been built throughout the county.They facilitate the growing and harvesting of timberand reforestation. They provide transportation to mostareas of the county.

The Seaboard Coast Line Railroad provides freighttransportation northward from Perry using the route ofthe South Georgia Railway, which was the first railroadto enter the county.

Regularly scheduled commercial air transportation isnot available in the county. A small local airport is inPerry.

Mineral Resources

Taylor County contains deposits of severaleconomic mineral commodities. The most important ofthese is dolostone. Other minerals of lesser potentialinclude limestone and sand. The economic potentialand mining status of each commodity are summarizedin the following paragraphs (Spencer, 1996).

14 Soil Survey

Dolomite

Shallow, dolomitized Suwannee Limestone ispresent in the Cabbage Grove area (Townships 3 and 4South; Ranges 4, 5, and 6 East) in the northwesternpart of Taylor County (fig. 2). This area is one of onlyabout five high-quality dolomite producing areas inFlorida (Schmidt, 1979). The dolomite in Taylor Countyis mined primarily for use as road gravel. The rock isextracted by dragline, crushed onsite, and trucked tocustomers. Four companies operate in the CabbageGrove area.

Elsewhere in the county, private pits producedolomite on a sporadic, as-needed basis. The FloridaDepartment of Transportation operates a road-base pitin Section 4, Township 5 South, Range 5 East, and aprivate construction company maintains a pitsouthwest of Perry. Although sufficient dolomitereserves for continued commercial mining are presentin Taylor County, the lack of more extensive localmarkets for the product precludes an extensiveindustry in this commodity.

Limestone

The Ocala Limestone is near the surface under thesouthernmost part of Taylor County. The economic

grade varies considerably from one area to another.Although mining potential remains high, no companiescommercially mine limestone in the county. A privateconstruction company operates a private pit in theSuwannee Limestone southwest of Perry, and anothercorporation maintains two private road-base pits in thesoutheastern part of the county. Low local demandprecludes extensive mining of this mineral.

Sand

A number of shallow private pits in Taylor Countyproduce fill sand. Pleistocene quartz sand deposits arepresent as a blanket of variable thickness over most ofthe county. Because of low local demand for sandproducts, the potential for commercial mining is low.

Clay

Clay is sporadically present as a component of theundifferentiated surficial sediments covering TaylorCounty. Due to the impure nature of the clay, it is notan economic commodity in the county.

Peat

Peat forms in a wet, reducing environment when therate of accumulation of organic materials exceeds the

rate of decomposition. Shallow wetlands in the SanPedro Bay region in the northeastern part of TaylorCounty provide potential sites of peat formation.Although a peat survey has not been conducted in thecounty, studies in adjacent counties indicate that thepeat formed in such areas is too thin to be of economicinterest (Davis, 1946; Bond, 1986).

How This Survey Was MadeThis survey was made to provide information about

the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area.The information includes a description of the soils andmiscellaneous areas and their location and adiscussion of their suitability, limitations, andmanagement for specified uses. Soil scientistsobserved the steepness, length, and shape of theslopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds ofcrops and native plants; and the kinds of bedrock(USDA, National Soil Survey Handbook; USDA, 1993).They dug many holes to study the soil profile, which isthe sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil.The profile extends from the surface down into theunconsolidated material in which the soil formed. Theunconsolidated material is devoid of roots and otherliving organisms and has not been changed by otherbiological activity.

The soils and miscellaneous areas in the surveyarea are in an orderly pattern that is related to thegeology, landforms, relief, climate, and naturalvegetation of the area. Each kind of soil andmiscellaneous area is associated with a particular kindof landform or with a segment of the landform. Byobserving the soils and miscellaneous areas in thesurvey area and relating their position to specificsegments of the landform, a soil scientist develops aconcept or model of how they were formed. Thus,during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist topredict with a considerable degree of accuracy the kindof soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location onthe landscape.

Commonly, individual soils on the landscape mergeinto one another as their characteristics graduallychange. To construct an accurate soil map, however,soil scientists must determine the boundaries betweenthe soils. They can observe only a limited number ofsoil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations,supplemented by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient toverify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and todetermine the boundaries.

Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of thesoil profiles that they studied. They noted color,texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and

amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots,reaction, and other features that enable them toidentify soils. After describing the soils in the surveyarea and determining their properties, the soilscientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes(units). Taxonomic classes are concepts. Eachtaxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics withprecisely defined limits. The classes are used as abasis for comparison to classify soils systematically.Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classificationused in the United States, is based mainly on the kindand character of soil properties and the arrangement ofhorizons within the profile. After the soil scientistsclassified and named the soils in the survey area, theycompared the individual soils with similar soils in thesame taxonomic class in other areas so that theycould confirm data and assemble additional data basedon experience and research.

While a soil survey is in progress, samples of someof the soils in the area generally are collected forlaboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soilscientists interpret the data from these analyses andtests as well as the field-observed characteristics andthe soil properties to determine the expected behaviorof the soils under different uses. Interpretations for allof the soils are field tested through observation of thesoils in different uses and under different levels ofmanagement. Some interpretations are modified to fitlocal conditions, and some new interpretations aredeveloped to meet local needs. Data are assembledfrom other sources, such as research information,production records, and field experience of specialists.For example, data on crop yields under defined levelsof management are assembled from farm records andfrom field or plot experiments on the same kinds ofsoil.

Predictions about soil behavior are based not onlyon soil properties but also on such variables as climateand biological activity. Soil conditions are predictableover long periods of time, but they are not predictablefrom year to year. For example, soil scientists canpredict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that agiven soil will have a high water table within certaindepths in most years, but they cannot predict that ahigh water table will always be at a specific level in thesoil on a specific date.

After soil scientists located and identified thesignificant natural bodies of soil in the survey area,they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerialphotographs and identified each as a specific map unit.Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields, roads,and rivers, all of which help in locating boundariesaccurately.

The descriptions, names, and delineations of the

soils in this survey area do not fully agree with those ofthe soils in adjacent survey areas. Differences are theresult of a better knowledge of soils, modifications inseries concepts, or variations in the intensity of mappingor in the extent of the soils in the survey areas.

Map Unit CompositionA map unit delineation on a soil map represents an

area dominated by one major kind of soil or an areadominated by several kinds of soil. A map unit isidentified and named according to the taxonomicclassification of the dominant soil or soils. Within ataxonomic class there are precisely defined limits forthe properties of the soils. On the landscape, however,the soils are natural objects. In common with othernatural objects, they have a characteristic variability intheir properties. Thus, the range of some observedproperties may extend beyond the limits defined for ataxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomicclass rarely, if ever, can be mapped without includingareas of soils of other taxonomic classes.Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soil orsoils for which it is named and some soils that belongto other taxonomic classes. In the detailed soil mapunits, these latter soils are called inclusions orincluded soils. In the general soil map units, they arecalled minor soils.

Most inclusions have properties and behavioralpatterns similar to those of the dominant soil or soils inthe map unit, and thus they do not affect use andmanagement. These are called noncontrasting (similar)inclusions. They may or may not be mentioned in themap unit descriptions. Other inclusions, however, haveproperties and behavior divergent enough to affect useor require different management. These are contrasting(dissimilar) inclusions. They generally occupy smallareas and cannot be shown separately on the soilmaps because of the scale used in mapping. Theinclusions of contrasting soils are mentioned in themap unit descriptions. A few inclusions may not havebeen observed and consequently are not mentioned inthe descriptions, especially where the soil pattern wasso complex that it was impractical to make enoughobservations to identify all of the kinds of soils on thelandscape.

The presence of inclusions in a map unit in no waydiminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the soil data.The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate puretaxonomic classes of soils but rather to separate thelandscape into segments that have similar use andmanagement requirements. The delineation of suchlandscape segments on the map provides sufficientinformation for the development of resource plans, butonsite investigation is needed to plan for intensiveuses in small areas.

The general soil map at the back of this publicationshows broad areas that have a distinctive pattern ofsoils, relief, and drainage. Each map unit on thegeneral soil map is a unique natural landscape.Typically, it consists of one or more major soils ormiscellaneous areas and some minor soils ormiscellaneous areas. It is named for the major soils ormiscellaneous areas. The components of one map unitcan occur in another but in a different pattern.

The general soil map can be used to compare thesuitability of large areas for general land uses. Areas ofsuitable soils can be identified on the map. Likewise,areas where the soils are not suitable can beidentified.

Because of its small scale, the map is not suitablefor planning the management of a farm or field or forselecting a site for a road or building or other structure.The soils in any one map unit differ from place to placein slope, depth, drainage, and other characteristics thataffect management.

Broad Land Use ConsiderationsThe soils in the Taylor County vary in their suitability

for major land uses. About 87 percent of the acreage isused for the production of pine trees. Much of theacreage in general soil map units 4, 5, and 6 is usedfor woodland. The seasonal high water table is the mainlimitation. Because of wetness, the equipmentlimitations are moderate or severe on these soils. Thewetness can be overcome by harvesting only duringthe drier periods or by using special equipment.

The soils in units 7, 8, and 9 are frequently flooded,ponded, or both, mainly in winter and summer.Flooding, ponding, and wetness are the majorlimitations affecting these units for most uses.

Only a small acreage in the county is used forpasture. Units 4, 5, and 6 are best suited to grasses.

24

Soils in units 1, 2, and 3 are generally unsuited tograsses because of droughtiness.

Little of the county is developed for urban uses.Generally, the moderately well drained and excessivelydrained soils are well suited to building site development.The Albany, Kershaw, Ortega, Otela, and Ridgewoodsoils in units 1, 2, and 3 are examples. In most of theother units, the seasonal high water table, the hazard ofponding, and the slope are the main managementconcerns. The soils on flood plains and in depressions,such as those in units 7, 8, and 9, are unsuitable assites for buildings because of flooding and ponding.

The seasonal high water table is a major limitationthroughout the county, and alternative waste disposalsystems (mounded septic tank absorption fields) areused.

The suitability of the soils for recreationaldevelopment ranges from poorly suited to well suited,depending on the intensity of the expected use. Units7, 8, and 9 are very poorly suited to many of theseuses because of wetness, flooding, and ponding. All ofthe soils are suited to some recreational uses, such aspaths and trails for hiking or horseback riding. Smallareas that are suitable for intensive recreational usesgenerally are available in the units that otherwise havesevere limitations.

The suitability for wildlife habitat generally is goodthroughout the county. All of the units have soils thatare generally well suited to habitat for openland wildlife,woodland wildlife, or both. Areas in units 7, 8, and 9and scattered areas in units 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are suitedto wetland habitat.

The map units delineated on the detailed maps atthe back of this survey represent the soils ormiscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unitdescriptions in this section, along with the maps andinterpretative tables, can be used to determine thesuitability and potential of a unit for specific uses. Theyalso can be used to plan the management needed forthose uses. More information about each map unit isgiven under the heading “Use and Management of theSoils.”

A map unit delineation on a map represents an areadominated by one or more major kinds of soil ormiscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and namedaccording to the taxonomic classification of the dominantsoils or miscellaneous areas. Within a taxonomic classthere are precisely defined limits for the properties of thesoils. On the landscape, however, the soils andmiscellaneous areas are natural phenomena, and theyhave the characteristic variability of all naturalphenomena. Thus, the range of some observedproperties may extend beyond the limits defined for ataxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomicclass rarely, if ever, can be mapped without includingareas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, everymap unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areasfor which it is named and some “included” areas thatbelong to other taxonomic classes.

Most included soils have properties similar to thoseof the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thusthey do not affect use and management. These arecalled noncontrasting, or similar, inclusions. They mayor may not be mentioned in the map unit description.Other included soils and miscellaneous areas,however, have properties and behavioralcharacteristics divergent enough to affect use or torequire different management. These are calledcontrasting, or dissimilar, inclusions. They generally arein small areas and could not be mapped separatelybecause of the scale used. Some small areas ofstrongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas areidentified by a special symbol on the maps. Theincluded areas of contrasting soils or miscellaneousareas are mentioned in the map unit descriptions. Afew included areas may not have been observed, andconsequently they are not mentioned in the

descriptions, especially where the pattern was socomplex that it was impractical to make enoughobservations to identify all the soils and miscellaneousareas on the landscape.

The presence of included areas in a map unit in noway diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data.The objective of mapping is not to delineate puretaxonomic classes but rather to separate thelandscape into landforms or landform segments thathave similar use and management requirements. Thedelineation of such segments on the map providessufficient information for the development of resourceplans, but if intensive use of small areas is planned,onsite investigation is needed to define and locate thesoils and miscellaneous areas.

An identifying symbol precedes the map unit namein the map unit descriptions. Each description includesgeneral facts about the unit and gives the principalhazards and limitations to be considered in planning forspecific uses.

Soils that have profiles that are almost alike makeup a soil series. Except for differences in texture of thesurface layer, all the soils of a series have majorhorizons that are similar in composition, thickness, andarrangement.

Soils of one series can differ in texture of thesurface layer, slope, depth to rock, stoniness, salinity,degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affecttheir use. On the basis of such differences, a soilseries is divided into soil phases. Most of the areasshown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soilseries. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates afeature that affects use or management. For example,Chaires fine sand, limestone substratum, is a phase ofthe Chaires series.

Some map units are made up of two or more majorsoils or miscellaneous areas. These map units arecomplexes or undifferentiated groups.

A complex consists of two or more soils ormiscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or insuch small areas that they cannot be shown separatelyon the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils ormiscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas.Tooles-Tennille-Wekiva complex, depressional, is anexample.

Detailed Soil Map Units

26 Soil Survey

An undifferentiated group is made up of two or moresoils or miscellaneous areas that could be mappedindividually but are mapped as one unit becausesimilar interpretations can be made for use andmanagement. The pattern and proportion of the soils ormiscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform.An area can be made up of only one of the major soilsor miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all ofthem. Dorovan and Pamlico soils, depressional, is anundifferentiated group in this survey area.

This survey includes miscellaneous areas. Suchareas have little or no soil material and support little orno vegetation. Pits is an example.

Table 4 gives the acreage and proportionate extentof soils in each map unit. Other tables give propertiesof the soils and the limitations, capabilities, andpotentials for many uses. The Glossary defines manyof the terms used in describing the soils ormiscellaneous areas.

Management concerns: Equipment limitations, seedlingmortality, windthrow, and plant competition

Management considerations:• Site preparation, such as bedding, helps to establishseedlings, reduces the seedling mortality rate, andincreases the early growth rate.• Pine trees planted in areas where limestone is closeto the surface do not grow to a commercially valuablesize due to high pH levels.• Chopping and bedding help to minimize debris,control competing vegetation, and facilitate planting.• Using field machinery equipped with large tires ortracks and harvesting during dry periods help toovercome the equipment limitations and minimize soilcompaction and root damage during thinningactivities.• Logging systems that leave plant debris welldistributed over the site increase the content of organicmatter and improve fertility.• Trees in areas of this map unit respond well toapplications of fertilizer.

This soil survey is an inventory and evaluation ofthe soils in the survey area. It can be used to adjustland uses to the limitations and potentials of naturalresources and the environment. Also, it can help toprevent soil-related failures in land uses.

In preparing a soil survey, soil scientists,conservationists, engineers, and others collect extensivefield data about the nature and behavioral characteristicsof the soils. They collect data on erosion, droughtiness,flooding, and other factors that affect various soil usesand management. Field experience and collected data onsoil properties and performance are used as a basis inpredicting soil behavior.

This section can be used to plan the use andmanagement of soils for crops and pasture; as rangelandand woodland; as sites for buildings, sanitary facilities,highways and other transportation systems, and parksand other recreational facilities; and for wildlife habitat. Itcan be used to identify the potentials and limitations of eachsoil for specific land uses and to help prevent constructionfailures caused by unfavorable soil properties.

Planners and others using soil survey information canevaluate the effect of specific land uses on productivityand on the environment in all or part of the survey area.The survey can help planners to maintain or create aland use pattern in harmony with the natural soil.

Contractors can use this survey to locate sources ofsand and gravel, roadfill, and topsoil. They can use it toidentify areas where bedrock, wetness, or very firm soillayers can cause difficulty in excavation.

Health officials, highway officials, engineers, andothers may also find this survey useful. The surveycan help them plan the safe disposal of wastes andlocate sites for pavements, sidewalks, campgrounds,playgrounds, lawns, and trees and shrubs.

Woodland Management andProductivity

John K. Fish, county forester, Florida Division of Forestry, andPete T. Kleto, forestry and soil resource consultant, helpedprepare this section.

About 592,800 acres in Taylor County, or more than87 percent of the county, is woodland (USDA, 1987).

Forestry has played an important role in the economicgrowth of the county. After the early settlement of thecounty, longleaf pine dominated the better drained sitesand slash pine dominated the wet flatwoods. Longleafpine was the only tree that could withstand the fires setby settlers to clear woodland for grazing and for theproduction of agriculture crops. Baldcypress,pondcypress, black tupelo, sweetgum, red maple, andvarious bays were the main trees in areas along ponds,drainageways, and swamps and on the flood plainsalong rivers.

Harvesting timber, collecting pine gum resin, andcutting railroad crossties once provided many jobs toarea residents. Some timber harvesting practices,however, have failed to provide for adequateregeneration of commercially important species. Also,exclusion of fire from the woods has allowedundesirable hardwoods to dominate and has furtherinhibited the establishment and growth of pine trees.

The soils and climate of the county are excellent forthe management of southern pines. Slash pine is thedominant commercial tree and is planted throughoutthe county (fig. 5). Loblolly pine is planted to a smallextent in the county. Natural stands of longleaf pine arescattered throughout the county in areas of Albany,Chipley, Chiefland, Eunola, Hurricane, Kershaw,Lutterloh, Mandarin, Matmon, Melvina, Ortega, Ousley,Resota, Ridgewood, and Seaboard soils.

Applying nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassiumduring planting encourages excellent growth response.Loblolly pine and slash pine grow best if adequatephosphorus is applied. The application of additionalfertilizer at mid-rotation should be based on a soil testor tissue analysis.

Timber management in the county consists mainlyof clearcutting and intensive site preparation. Pinestands are thinned for residual sawtimber and salvagepurposes on a small scale in the area. Prescribedburning is very important for removing slash during sitepreparation, for reducing the hazard of wildfire inestablished stands, and for encouraging the growth ofgrasses and forbs, which provide food and cover forcattle and a diversity of wildlife.

Management practices that help to overcome theseasonal wetness and plant competition are used in

areas of poorly drained soils. The equipment limitationsare severe during wet periods. Plant competition fromheavy brush and hardwood sprouting can severelyaffect seedling survival and growth. Site preparation,such as chopping and bedding or double bedding,helps to establish seedlings, reduces the seedlingmortality rate, and increases the early growth rate.Bedding should not block natural drainage.

The use of herbicides is becoming more widespreadin the area. They are used for chemical site preparationto promote either natural or artificial regeneration andto release established pine stands from woodycompetition. This method of site preparation hasseveral advantages over traditional mechanicalmethods. The advantages include increased control ofcompeting vegetation at a lower cost, reduced hazardof erosion, and decreased soil compaction. The proper

use of herbicides can reduce long-term costs bycontrolling hardwood resprouting, thereby increasingsite productivity. Using herbicides and mechanical sitepreparation in conjunction can also greatly improve thesurvival and growth rates.

A high demand for timber is expected to continuewell into the next century. This solid market has helpedmany landowners continue growing and managing theirwoodland for maximum production. To make the mostof an investment in timber, the landowner should basedecisions about which trees to plant on an evaluationof soil productivity and the quality of productsproduced at final harvest. Physical soil characteristicsindicate productivity. The most important characteristicthat affects production capacity is the ability of the soilto provide adequate moisture. Other factors include thethickness of the surface layer, the content of organic

matter in the surface layer, the natural supply ofnutrients, the texture and consistency of the soilmaterial, aeration, internal drainage, pH, and the depthto the water table.

Markets are plentiful for local wood producers. Sixpulp mills are within a 60-mile radius of Taylor County.Chip-n-saw logs, poletimber, and veneer timber areaggressively marketed. Timber buyers and loggers areabundant; more than 20 companies serve the area. Themarket for cypress sawtimber is growing. Most cypressis sold locally for fencing and rough lumber. Theresidual material is sold for use as mulch.

An important function of trees is to protect the soil.A well managed stand of trees prevents soildeterioration and conserves soil and water resources.Erosion is not an important factor in most of thecounty; however, the ability of tree cover to increasethe amount of moisture that enters the soil by reducingthe impact of rain drops is an important factor affectingground water supplies.

Management of woodland wildlife habitat is animportant factor affecting recreation and the economyin the area. Current forestry practices, such asclearcutting and burning, favor food and cover forwildlife. Deer, turkey, feral hogs, and quail are the maingame animals.

Individuals own thousands of acres of poorlystocked woodland throughout the county. Informationthat can help landowners increase productivity isavailable regarding individual soils and site selection(USDA, National Forestry Manual). More detailedinformation regarding woodland management can beobtained at the local office of the Natural ResourcesConservation Service, the Florida Division of Forestry,or the Cooperative Extension Service.

Soils vary in their ability to produce trees. Depth,fertility, texture, and the available water capacityinfluence tree growth. Elevation, aspect, and climatedetermine the kinds of trees that can grow on a site.The available water capacity and depth of the rootzone are major influences affecting tree growth.

Table 6 can be used by woodland owners or forestmanagers in planning the use of soils for wood crops.Only those soils suitable for wood crops are listed. Thetable lists the ordination symbol for each soil. Soilsassigned the same ordination symbol require the samegeneral management and have about the samepotential productivity.

The first part of the ordination symbol, a number,indicates the potential productivity of the soils for anindicator tree species (USDA, National ForestryManual). The number indicates the volume, in cubicmeters per hectare per year, which the indicatorspecies can produce in a pure stand under natural

conditions. The number 1 indicates low potentialproductivity; 2 or 3, moderate; 4 or 5, moderately high;6 to 8, high; 9 to 11, very high; and 12 to 39, extremelyhigh. The second part of the symbol, a letter, indicatesthe major kind of soil limitation. The letter W indicatesexcess water in or on the soil and S indicates sandytexture. If a soil has more than one limitation, thepriority is W then S.

In the table, slight, moderate, and severe indicatethe degree of the major soil limitations to beconsidered in management.

Equipment limitation reflects the characteristics andconditions of the soil that restrict use of the equipmentgenerally needed in woodland management orharvesting. The chief characteristics and conditionsconsidered in the ratings are slope, stones on thesurface, rock outcrops, soil wetness, and texture of thesurface layer. A rating of slight indicates that undernormal conditions the kind of equipment and season ofuse are not significantly restricted by soil factors. Soilwetness can restrict equipment use, but the wet perioddoes not exceed 1 month. A rating of moderateindicates that equipment use is moderately restrictedbecause of one or more soil factors. If the soil is wet,the wetness restricts equipment use for a period of 1 to3 months. A rating of severe indicates that equipmentuse is severely restricted either as to the kind ofequipment that can be used or the season of use. Ifthe soil is wet, the wetness restricts equipment use formore than 3 months.

Seedling mortality refers to the death of naturallyoccurring or planted tree seedlings, as influenced bythe kinds of soil, soil wetness, or topographicconditions. The factors used in rating the soils forseedling mortality are texture of the surface layer,depth to a seasonal high water table and the length ofthe period when the water table is high, rock fragmentsin the surface layer, effective rooting depth, and slopeaspect. A rating of slight indicates that seedlingmortality is not likely to be a problem under normalconditions. Expected mortality is less than 25 percent.A rating of moderate indicates that some problemsfrom seedling mortality can be expected. Extraprecautions are advisable. Expected mortality is 25 to50 percent. A rating of severe indicates that seedlingmortality is a serious problem. Extra precautions areimportant. Replanting may be necessary. Expectedmortality is more than 50 percent.

Windthrow hazard is the likelihood that trees will beuprooted by the wind because the soil is not deepenough for adequate root anchorage. The mainrestrictions that affect rooting are a seasonal highwater table and the depth to bedrock, a fragipan, orother limiting layers. A rating of slight indicates that

100 Soil Survey

under normal conditions no trees are blown down bythe wind. Strong winds may damage trees, but they donot uproot them. A rating of moderate indicates thatsome trees can be blown down during periods when thesoil is wet and winds are moderate or strong. A ratingof severe indicates that many trees can be blown downduring these periods.

Plant competition ratings indicate the degree towhich undesirable species are expected to invade andgrow when openings are made in the tree canopy. Themain factors that affect plant competition are depth tothe water table and the available water capacity. Arating of slight indicates that competition fromundesirable plants is not likely to prevent naturalregeneration or suppress the more desirable species.Planted seedlings can become established withoutundue competition. A rating of moderate indicates thatcompetition may delay the establishment of desirablespecies. Competition may hamper stand development,but it will not prevent the eventual development of fullystocked stands. A rating of severe indicates thatcompetition can be expected to prevent regenerationunless precautionary measures are applied.

The potential productivity of merchantable orcommon trees on a soil is expressed as a site qualityor a site index and as a volume number (Broadfoot,1964; Schumaker, 1960; USDA, 1976; USDA 1985b;Barns, 1995). The site index is the average height, infeet, that dominant and codominant trees of a givenspecies attain in a specified number of years. The siteindex applies to fully stocked, even-aged, unmanagedstands. Commonly grown trees are those thatwoodland managers generally favor in intermediate orimprovement cuttings. They are selected on the basisof growth rate, quality, value, and marketability.

The volume, a number, is the yield likely to beproduced by the most important trees. This number,expressed as cubic feet per acre per year, indicatesthe amount of fiber produced in a fully stocked, even-aged, unmanaged stand.

The site quality applies to fully stocked, even-aged,managed pine plantations. If a plantation is more that 10years old, site quality curves for slash pine and loblollypine can be used to estimate plantation site quality on a25-year basis. Site index curves that have a base age of50 are available for sand pine and second-growth naturallongleaf pine. Because longleaf pine is most commonlymanaged for sawtimber products, all values for longleafpine are based on site index.

The productivity is the yield likely to be produced bythe most important trees, expressed in cords per acreper year. Production figures are based on a stocking of400 even-aged trees per acre at 25 years of age. If aplantation of longleaf pine at age 25 has a site quality

of 70, the expected yield is 3,870 cubic feet per acre. If1 rough cord is equal to about 92.5 cubic feet, then theexpected yield is 42 cords per acre. Wood fiberproduction may be significantly greater where intensiveforest management practices are applied than innatural stands.

The first species listed under common trees for asoil is the indicator species for that soil. It generally isthe most common species on the soil and is the onethat determines the ordination class.

Trees to plant are those that are suitable forcommercial wood production.

Grazing LandsSid S. Brantly, range conservationist, National Resources

Conservation Service, helped to prepare this section.

Grazing lands in Taylor County consist of tamepasture, which primarily supports bahiagrass orbermudagrass, and grazeable woodland, whichsupports native grasses, forbs, and legumes that areused for forage by livestock and wildlife. About 19,500acres of tame pasture and 200,000 acres of grazeablewoodland provide food and habitat for an estimated6,100 head of cattle and countless wildlife (Universityof Florida, 1994). Many of the smaller, private tractsare fenced and provide grazing for livestock. Many ofthe larger wooded tracts owned by timber companies arefenced and are utilized for forage to a lesser degree.

Because forage production and availability aredirectly related to the tree canopy, the different ageclasses of trees cause a wide variation in forageproduction in a given tract. In some large areas, fencingprovides adequate forage for a small number of cattle.

Grazeable woodland has an understory of nativegrasses, legumes, and forbs. The understory is anintegral part of the woodland plant community. Thenative plants can be grazed without significantlyimpairing other woodland values. On such woodland,grazing is compatible with timber management if thegrazing is controlled or managed so that timber andforage resources are maintained or enhanced.

Understory vegetation is grazed by livestock and bywildlife. Some woodland, if well managed, can produceenough understory vegetation to support grazing byoptimum numbers of livestock or wildlife or bothwithout damage to the trees. Prescribed burning andcommercial thinning are examples of managementpractices.

Forage production on grazeable woodland variesaccording to the different kinds of grazeable woodland,the amount of shade cast by the canopy, theaccumulation of fallen needles, the influence of time


and intensity of grazing on the grasses and forage, andthe number, size, spacing, and method of sitepreparation for tree plantings.

The pastureland in Taylor County provides neededcomponents of habitat for a host of wildlife species andprovides filtration and storage for some of thefreshwater supply. Livestock producers care for theland in such a way that it provides forage for a majorityof the cattle in the county. Bahiagrass andbermudagrass are managed on much of the pasturelandin the county. Sound management plans for pasturelandusually include maintaining proper stubble height,controlling weeds, applying fertilizer and lime, andapplying a planned grazing system. Stubble height onbahiagrass is successfully managed at about twoinches. Short grazing periods are followed by three- orfour-week rests. Stubble height on bermudagrass isbest managed at about four inches. Four- to six-weekrest periods are allowed between grazing.

Windbreaks and EnvironmentalPlantings

Windbreaks protect livestock, buildings, and yardsfrom wind and snow. They also protect fruit trees andgardens, and they furnish habitat for wildlife. Severalrows of low- and high-growing broadleaf and coniferoustrees and shrubs provide the most protection.

Field windbreaks are narrow plantings made at rightangles to the prevailing wind and at specific intervalsacross the field. The interval depends on the erodibilityof the soil. Field windbreaks protect cropland and cropsfrom wind, help to keep snow on the fields, and providefood and cover for wildlife.

Environmental plantings help to beautify and screenhouses and other buildings and to abate noise. Theplants, mostly evergreen shrubs and trees, are closelyspaced. To ensure plant survival, a healthy plantingstock of suitable species should be planted properly ona well prepared site and maintained in good condition.

Additional information on planning windbreaks andscreens and planting and caring for trees and shrubscan be obtained for the local office of the NaturalResources Conservation Service or of the CooperativeExtension Service or from a commercial nursery.

Crops and PastureWilliam B. Pugh, Jr., district conservationist, and E. Norman

Porter, resource conservationist, Natural ResourcesConservation Service, helped prepare this section.

General management needed for crops and pastureis suggested in this section. The estimated yields of

the main crops and pasture plants are listed for eachsoil, the system of land capability classification usedby the Natural Resources Conservation Service isexplained, and prime farmland is described.

Planners of management systems for individualfields or farms should consider the detailed informationgiven in the description of each soil under the heading“Detailed Soil Map Units.” Specific information can beobtained from the local office of the Natural ResourcesConservation Service or the Cooperative ExtensionService.

More than 20,500 acres in Taylor County is used forcrops and pasture (University of Florida, 1994). Theacreage used for crops and pasture has gradually beendecreasing as land is used for urban development andtimber production.

Erosion caused by water is not a major problem onthe cropland and pastureland in the county. Informationon the design of erosion-control practices for each kindof soil is available from the local office of the NaturalResources Conservation Service.

Soil blowing can be a hazard on the better drained,sandy soils and on the more poorly drained, sandysoils that have been drained. It can damage crops in afew hours if the wind is strong and the soil is dry andbare of vegetation or surface mulch. Soil blowing canbe reduced by maintaining a vegetative cover orsurface mulch; by planting permanent windbreaks ofadapted plant species, such as pine, red cedar, andmyrtle; and by planting properly spaced temporarystrips of seasonal small grain or other annuals andperennials at a right angle to the prevailing damagingwind.

Soil drainage is a major management concernaffecting most of the acreage used for crops andpasture in the county, including areas of the poorlydrained Chaires, Leon, Mascotte, Meadowbrook, Osier,Plummer, Pottsburg, Sapelo, Steinhatchee, Tooles, andWekiva soils. Albany, Chipley, Chiefland, Eunola,Hurricane, Lutterloh, Mandarin, Matmon, Melvina,Moriah, Ocilla, Ortega, Otela, Ousley, Resota,Ridgewood, and Seaboard soils have good naturaldrainage and tend to dry out quickly after rains.Irrigation is needed for crop production during periodsof low rainfall.

Fertility is naturally low in most of the soils in thecounty. Also, most of the soils are naturally acid. Theaddition of lime and fertilizer should be based on theresults of soil tests, on the needs of the crop, and onthe expected level of yields. The Florida CooperativeExtension Service can help in determining the kindsand amounts of fertilizer and lime to apply.

Field crops grown in the county include corn, grainsorghum, and tobacco. The corn and grain sorghum are

102 Soil Survey

used as feed for livestock and poultry. Some peanutsare also grown in the county (fig. 6).

Farm income in the county is derived primarily fromcow-calf livestock operations.

The main pasture plants in the county are improvedbermudagrass and bahiagrass. Excess grass isharvested as hay and is either sold or used as winterfeed. Millet, sorghum, and sudangrass hybrids aregrown for green chop or grazing during the summer,and rye and oats are grown during the winter.

In areas that have similar climate and topography,differences in the kinds and amounts of forage apasture can produce are related closely to the soiltype. Pasture management is based on the relationshipamong soils, variety of pasture plants, lime andfertilizer, and grazing systems. Yields can be increasedby adding lime and fertilizer as indicated by a soil testand by including a grass-legume mixture in thecropping system.

Yields per Acre

The average yields per acre that can be expected ofthe principal crops under a high level of management

are shown in table 7. In any given year, yields may behigher or lower than those indicated in the tablebecause of variations in rainfall and other climaticfactors. The land capability classification (USDA, 1961)of each map unit also is shown in the table.

The yields are based mainly on the experience andrecords of farmers, conservationists, and extensionagents. Available yield data from nearby counties andresults of field trials and demonstrations are alsoconsidered.

The management needed to obtain the indicatedyields of the various crops depends on the kind of soiland the crop. Management can include drainage,erosion control, and protection from flooding; the properplanting and seeding rates; suitable high-yielding cropvarieties; appropriate and timely tillage; control ofweeds, plant diseases, and harmful insects; favorablesoil reaction and optimum levels of nitrogen,phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements for eachcrop; effective use of crop residue, barnyard manure,and green manure crops; and harvesting that ensuresthe smallest possible loss.

For yields of irrigated crops, it is assumed that theirrigation system is adapted to the soils and to thecrops grown, that good-quality irrigation water isuniformly applied as needed, and that tillage is kept toa minimum.

The estimated yields reflect the productive capacityof each soil for each of the principal crops. Yields arelikely to increase as new production technology isdeveloped. The productivity of a given soil comparedwith that of other soils, however, is not likely tochange.

Crops other than those shown in the table are grownin the survey area, but estimated yields are not listedbecause the acreage of such crops is small. The localoffice of the Natural Resources Conservation Serviceor of the Cooperative Extension Service can provideinformation about the management and productivity ofthe soils for those crops.

Land Capability Classes

Land capability classification shows, in a generalway, the suitability of soils for most kinds of fieldcrops. Crops that require special management areexcluded (USDA, 1961). The soils are groupedaccording to their limitations for field crops, the risk ofdamage if they are used for crops, and the way theyrespond to management. The criteria used in groupingthe soils do not include major and generally expensivelandforming that would change slope, depth, or othercharacteristics of the soils, nor do they includepossible but unlikely major reclamation projects.

Capability classification is not a substitute forinterpretations designed to show suitability andlimitations of groups of soils for rangeland, forwoodland, and for engineering purposes.

In the capability system, soils are generally groupedat three levels—capability class, subclass, and unit.Only class and subclass are used in this survey.

Capability classes, the broadest groups, aredesignated by numerals I through VIII. They are listedin table 7. The numerals indicate progressively greaterlimitations and narrower choices for practical use. Theclasses are defined as follows:

Class I soils have few limitations that restrict theiruse.

Class II soils have moderate limitations that reducethe choice of plants or that require moderateconservation practices.

Class III soils have severe limitations that reducethe choice of plants or that require specialconservation practices, or both.

Class IV soils have very severe limitations thatreduce the choice of plants or that require very carefulmanagement, or both.

Class V soils are not likely to erode but have otherlimitations, impractical to remove, that limit their use.

Class VI soils have severe limitations that makethem generally unsuitable for cultivation.

Class VII soils have very severe limitations thatmake them unsuitable for cultivation.

Class VIII soils and miscellaneous areas havelimitations that nearly preclude their use forcommercial crop production.

Capability subclasses are soil groups within oneclass. They are designated by adding a small letter, wor s, to the class numeral, for example, IIw. The letterw shows that water in or on the soil interferes withplant growth or cultivation (in some soils the wetnesscan be partly corrected by artificial drainage), and sshows that the soil is limited mainly because it isshallow, droughty, or stony.

In class I there are no subclasses because the soilsof this class have few limitations.

The capability classification of each map unit isgiven in the section “Detailed Soil Map Units” and inthe yields table.

Hydric SoilsG. Wade Hurt, national leader for hydric soils, Natural

Resources Conservation Service, helped prepare this section.

In this section, hydric soils are defined anddescribed and the hydric soil map units in the soilsurvey are indicated.

The three essential characteristics of wetlands arehydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and a specifichydrology (Cowardin, 1979; Environmental Laboratory,1987). Criteria for each of the characteristics must bemet for areas to be identified as wetlands. Thedominant natural vegetation on undrained hydric soilsshould be ecologically wetland species. Hydric soilsthat have been converted to other uses should becapable of being restored to wetlands.

Hydric soils are defined by the National TechnicalCommittee for Hydric Soils (NTCHS) as soils thatformed under conditions of saturation, flooding, orponding long enough during the growing season todevelop anaerobic conditions in the upper part.These soils are either saturated, inundated, or bothlong enough during the growing season to supportthe growth and reproduction of hydrophyticvegetation.

The definition identifies general soil properties thatare associated with wetness. In order to determinewhether a specific soil is a hydric soil or a nonhydricsoil, however, specific information, such as informationabout the depth and duration of saturation, is needed.Thus, criteria that identify the estimated propertiesunique to hydric soils have been established (USDA,Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States).These criteria are used to identify a phase of a soilseries that normally is associated with wetlands. Thecriteria are selected soil properties that aredocumented in “Soil Taxonomy,” “Keys to SoilTaxonomy,” the “National Soils Handbook,” and the “SoilSurvey Manual” (USDA: 1975, 1998, 1993, and NationSoil Survey Handbook).

If soils are wet enough for a long enough period tobe considered hydric, they should exhibit certainproperties that can be easily observed in the field.These visible properties are indicators of hydric soils.The indicators that can be used to make onsitedeterminations of hydric soils in Taylor County arespecified in “Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in theUnited States.” These indicators are tested and revisedthrough scientific methods. Updated information isavailable on the internet and at the State and localoffices of the Natural Resources ConservationService.

Hydric soils are generally identified by examiningand describing the soil to a depth of about 20 inches.The determination of an appropriate indicator, however,may require investigation to a greater depth. Soilscientists excavate and describe the soils to asufficient depth to understand the redoximorphicprocesses. After completing the soil description, soilscientists can compare the features required by eachindicator and the conditions observed in the soil and

104 Soil Survey

thereby determine which indicators occur. The soil canbe identified as a hydric soil if one or more of theapproved indicators occur.

This survey can be used to locate probable areas ofhydric soils. Table 5 (Comprehensive Hydric Soils List)indicates which components and inclusions of the mapunit meet the definition of hydric soils and also have atleast one of the hydric soil indicators. This list can helpin the planning of land uses, but onsite investigation isneeded to determine if hydric soils occur at a specificsite.

Map units consisting of hydric soils can have smallareas, or inclusions, of nonhydric soils in the higherpositions on the landform, and map units made up ofnonhydric soils can have inclusions of hydric soils inthe lower positions on the landform.

Ecological CommunitiesJohn F. Vance, Jr., biologist, Natural Resources Conservation

Service, helped prepare this section.

The ecological community concept is based on theknowledge that a soil type commonly supports aspecific vegetative community, which in turn providesthe habitat needed by specific wildlife species.

Vegetative communities form recognizable units onthe landscape, most of which are apparent to thecasual observer after only a little training. Even withoutprior botanical training, an observer can quickly learn todistinguish between pine flatwoods and pine-turkey oaksandhills, between hardwood hammocks and cypressswamps, and between mangrove swamps and saltmarsh. Once a community is recognized, informationcan be found concerning the general characteristics ofthe soil on which it occurs and the types of plants andanimals it supports.

Although some plants are found only within a verynarrow range of conditions, many plants can survivethroughout a wide range of conditions. Individual plantsthat have a wide tolerance level can occur in manydifferent communities and on a variety of soils. Whendescribing ecological communities, plant scientistsstudy the patterns in which vegetation occurs. Theystudy what species occur, the relative abundance ofeach species, the stage of plant succession, thedominance of species, the position of species on thelandscape, and the soil or soils on which the patternsoccur. Recognizable patterns of vegetation are usuallyfound in a small group of soil types that have commoncharacteristics. During many years of fieldobservations while conducting soil surveys, the NaturalResources Conservation Service determined whichvegetative communities commonly occur on which

soils throughout Florida. This information issummarized in a booklet called “26 EcologicalCommunities of Florida” (USDA, 1985a).

In the following paragraphs, the vegetativecommunity occurring on individual map units during theclimax state of plant succession is described. Thecommunity described is based on relatively naturalconditions. Human activities, such as commercialproduction of pine, agriculture, urbanization, and firesuppression, can alter the community on a specificsite and should be considered.

Prime FarmlandPrime farmland is one of several kinds of important

farmland defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.It is of major importance in meeting the Nation’s short-and long-range needs for food and fiber. Because thesupply of high-quality farmland is limited, the U.S.Department of Agriculture recognizes that responsiblelevels of government, as well as individuals, shouldencourage and facilitate the wise use of our Nation’sprime farmland.

Prime farmland, as defined by the U.S. Departmentof Agriculture, is land that has the best combination ofphysical and chemical characteristics for producingfood, feed, forage, fiber, and oilseed crops and isavailable for these uses. It could be cultivated land,pastureland, forest land, or other land, but it is noturban or built-up land or water areas. The soil qualities,growing season, and moisture supply are those neededfor the soil to economically produce sustained highyields of crops when proper management, includingwater management, and acceptable farming methodsare applied. In general, prime farmland has anadequate and dependable supply of moisture fromprecipitation or irrigation, a favorable temperature andgrowing season, acceptable acidity or alkalinity, anacceptable salt and sodium content, and few or norocks. It is permeable to water and air. It is notexcessively erodible or saturated with water for longperiods, and it either is not frequently flooded duringthe growing season or is protected from flooding. Theslope ranges mainly from 0 to 6 percent. More detailedinformation about the criteria for prime farmland isavailable at the local office of the Natural ResourcesConservation Service.

About 550 acres in the survey area, or about 0.8percent of the total acreage, meets the soilrequirements for prime farmland. Areas of this land arealong the Aucilla River in the western part of thecounty, mainly in the Chaires-Meadowbrook-Clara,Sapelo-Surrency-Plummer, and Wekiva-Tooles-Chairesgeneral soil map units.

A recent trend in land use in some parts of thesurvey area has been the loss of some prime farmland

to industrial and urban uses. The loss of primefarmland to other uses puts pressure on marginallands, which generally are more erodible, droughty, andless productive and cannot be easily cultivated.

The only soil in the survey area that is consideredprime farmland is the Eunola part of map unit 69,Eunola, Goldhead, and Tooles fine sands, commonlyflooded. This designation does not constitute arecommendation for a particular land use. Measuresthat overcome the flooding are needed. Onsiteevaluation is needed to determine whether or not thehazard of flooding has been overcome by correctivemeasures. The extent of the map unit is shown intable 4. The location is shown on the detailed soilmaps at the back of this publication. The soil qualitiesthat affect use and management are described underthe heading “Detailed Soil Map Units.”

RecreationRecreation is an important land use in Taylor County.

Areas used for recreation include State parks, cityparks, campgrounds, golf courses, swimming pools,tennis courts, riding stables, fishing areas, boatingareas, football and baseball stadiums, theaters,museums, and suburban neighborhood playgrounds.

The major recreational areas are located near theurban population. Boating, water skiing, and fishing arepopular on all of the inland rivers and creeks and onthe Gulf of Mexico. Large areas of woodland are usedby private hunting clubs.

Recreational potential is high in Taylor County. Theclimate is conducive to outdoor recreationalactivities (fig. 8).

The soils of the survey area are rated in table 8according to limitations that affect their suitability forrecreation. The ratings are based on restrictive soilfeatures, such as wetness, slope, and texture of thesurface layer. Susceptibility to flooding is considered.Not considered in the ratings, but important inevaluating a site, are the location and accessibility ofthe area, the size and shape of the area and its scenicquality, vegetation, access to water, potential waterimpoundment sites, and access to public sewer lines.The capacity of the soil to absorb septic tank effluentand the ability of the soil to support vegetation are alsoimportant. Soils subject to flooding are limited forrecreational uses by the duration and intensity offlooding and the season when flooding occurs. Inplanning recreational facilities, onsite assessment ofthe height, duration, intensity, and frequency offlooding is essential.

In the table, the degree of soil limitation isexpressed as slight, moderate, or severe. Slight means

108 Soil Survey

that soil properties are generally favorable and thatlimitations, if any, are minor and easily overcome.Moderate means that limitations can be overcome oralleviated by planning, design, or special maintenance.Severe means that soil properties are unfavorable andthat limitations can be offset by soil reclamation,special design, intensive maintenance, limited use, ora combination of these measures.

The information in the table can be supplemented byother information in this survey, for example,interpretations for septic tank absorption fields in table11 and interpretations for dwellings without basementsand for local roads and streets in table 10.

Camp areas require site preparation, such asshaping and leveling the tent and parking areas,stabilizing roads and intensively used areas, andinstalling sanitary facilities and utility lines. Campareas are subject to heavy foot traffic and somevehicular traffic. The best soils have mild slopes andare not wet or subject to flooding during the period ofuse. The surface has few or no stones or boulders,absorbs rainfall readily but remains firm, and is notdusty when dry. Strong slopes and stones or boulderscan greatly increase the cost of constructing campsites.

Picnic areas are subject to heavy foot traffic. Mostvehicular traffic is confined to access roads andparking areas. The best soils for picnic areas are firmwhen wet, are not dusty when dry, are not subject toflooding during the period of use, and do not haveslopes or stones or boulders that increase the cost ofshaping sites or of building access roads and parkingareas.

Playgrounds require soils that can withstandintensive foot traffic. The best soils are almost leveland are not wet or subject to flooding during theseason of use. The surface is free of stones andboulders, is firm after rains, and is not dusty when dry.If grading is needed, the depth of the soil over bedrockor a hardpan should be considered.

Paths and trails for hiking and horseback ridingshould require little or no cutting and filling. The bestsoils are not wet, are firm after rains, are not dustywhen dry, and are not subject to flooding more thanonce a year during the period of use. They havemoderate slopes and few or no stones or boulders onthe surface.

Golf fairways are subject to heavy foot traffic andsome light vehicular traffic. Cutting or filling may be

required. The best soils for use as golf fairways arefirm when wet, are not dusty when dry, and are notsubject to prolonged flooding during the period of use.They have moderate slopes and no stones or boulderson the surface. The suitability of the soil for tees orgreens is not considered in rating the soils.

Wildlife HabitatJohn F. Vance, Jr., biologist, Natural Resources Conservation

Service, helped to prepare this section.

Taylor County, which is mainly rural, provides goodhabitat for wildlife. The main habitats are the largeswamps along the Gulf of Mexico, San Pedro Bay, andthe Aucilla, Econfina, and Fenholloway Rivers and theirtributaries and the large tracts of pine flatwoods. Morethan 592,000 acres consists of large tracts ofcommercial woodland.

Game species include white-tailed deer, squirrels,turkey, bobwhite quail, feral hogs, and waterfowl.Nongame species include raccoon, rabbit, armadillo,opossum, skunk, bobcat, gray fox, red fox, otter,and a variety of songbirds, wading birds,woodpeckers, predatory birds, reptiles, andamphibians.

The freshwater streams and the salt-water areasalong the coast provide good fishing opportunities. Themain species in the freshwater streams includelargemouth bass, channel catfish, bullhead catfish,bluegill, redear sunfish, spotted sunfish, warmouth,black crappie, chain pickerel, gar, bowfin, and sucker.A wide variety of species, including spotted sea trout,flounder, mullet, red drum, and blue crabs, are in thesalt-water areas.

A number of endangered and threatened speciesinhabit the county, including the seldom seen red-cockaded woodpecker. A detailed list of these speciesand information regarding their range and habitat needsare available at the local office of the NaturalResources Conservation Service.

Soils affect the kind and amount of vegetation thatis available to wildlife as food and cover. They alsoaffect the construction of water impoundments. Thekind and abundance of wildlife depend largely on theamount and distribution of food, cover, and water.Wildlife habitat can be created or improved by plantingappropriate vegetation, by maintaining the existingplant cover, or by promoting the natural establishmentof desirable plants.

In table 9, the soils in the survey area are ratedaccording to their potential for providing habitat forvarious kinds of wildlife. This information can be usedin planning parks, wildlife refuges, nature study areas,

and other developments for wildlife; in selecting soilsthat are suitable for establishing, improving, ormaintaining specific elements of wildlife habitat; and indetermining the intensity of management needed foreach element of the habitat.

The potential of the soil is rated good, fair, poor, orvery poor. A rating of good indicates that the elementor kind of habitat is easily established, improved, ormaintained. Few or no limitations affect management,and satisfactory results can be expected. A rating offair indicates that the element or kind of habitat can beestablished, improved, or maintained in most places.Moderately intensive management is required forsatisfactory results. A rating of poor indicates thatlimitations are severe for the designated element orkind of habitat. Habitat can be created, improved, ormaintained in most places, but management is difficultand must be intensive. A rating of very poor indicatesthat restrictions for the element or kind of habitat arevery severe and that unsatisfactory results can beexpected. Creating, improving, or maintaining habitat isimpractical or impossible.

The elements of wildlife habitat are described in thefollowing paragraphs.

Grain and seed crops are domestic grains and seed-producing herbaceous plants. Soil properties andfeatures that affect the growth of grain and seed cropsare depth of the root zone, texture of the surface layer,available water capacity, wetness, slope, surfacestoniness, and flooding. Soil temperature and soilmoisture are also considerations. Examples of grainand seed crops are corn, wheat, soybeans, browntopmillet, and grain sorghum.

Grasses and legumes are domestic perennialgrasses and herbaceous legumes. Soil properties andfeatures that affect the growth of grasses and legumesare depth of the root zone, texture of the surface layer,available water capacity, wetness, surface stoniness,flooding, and slope. Soil temperature and soil moistureare also considerations. Examples of grasses andlegumes are bahiagrass, lovegrass, Floridabeggerweed, clover, and sesbania.

Wild herbaceous plants are native or naturallyestablished grasses and forbs, including weeds. Soilproperties and features that affect the growth of theseplants are depth of the root zone, texture of the surfacelayer, available water capacity, wetness, surfacestoniness, and flooding. Soil temperature and soilmoisture are also considerations. Examples of wildherbaceous plants are bluestem, goldenrod,beggarweed, partridge pea, and bristlegrasses.

Hardwood trees and woody understory produce nutsor other fruit, buds, catkins, twigs, bark, and foliage.Soil properties and features that affect the growth of

110 Soil Survey

hardwood trees and shrubs are depth of the root zone,available water capacity, and wetness. Examples ofthese plants are oak, palmetto, blackcherry, sweetgum,wild grapes, hawthorn, dogwood, hickory, blackberry,and blueberry. Examples of fruit-producing shrubs thatare suitable for planting on soils rated good are firethorn,wild plum, American beautyberry, and crabapple.

Coniferous plants furnish browse and seeds. Soilproperties and features that affect the growth ofconiferous trees, shrubs, and ground cover are depthof the root zone, available water capacity, andwetness. Examples of coniferous plants are pine,cypress, cedar, and juniper.

Wetland plants are annual and perennial wildherbaceous plants that grow on moist or wet sites.Submerged or floating aquatic plants are excluded. Soilproperties and features affecting wetland plants aretexture of the surface layer, wetness, reaction, salinity,slope, and surface stoniness. Examples of wetlandplants are smartweed, wild millet, wildrice, saltgrass,cordgrass, rushes, sedges, and reeds.

Shallow water areas have an average depth of lessthan 5 feet. Some are naturally wet areas. Others arecreated by dams, levees, or other water-controlstructures. Soil properties and features affectingshallow water areas are depth to bedrock, wetness,surface stoniness, slope, and permeability. Examplesof shallow water areas are marshes, waterfowl feedingareas, and ponds.

The habitat for various kinds of wildlife is describedin the following paragraphs.

Habitat for openland wildlife consists of cropland,pasture, meadows, and areas that are overgrown withgrasses, herbs, shrubs, and vines. These areasproduce grain and seed crops, grasses and legumes,and wild herbaceous plants. Wildlife attracted to theseareas include bobwhite quail, dove, meadowlark, fieldsparrow, cottontail, and red fox.

Habitat for woodland wildlife consists of areas ofdeciduous plants or coniferous plants or both andassociated grasses, legumes, and wild herbaceousplants. Wildlife attracted to these areas include wildturkey, woodcock, thrushes, woodpeckers, squirrels,gray fox, raccoon, deer, bear, and feral hogs.

Habitat for wetland wildlife consists of open, marshyor swampy shallow water areas. Some of the wildlifeattracted to such areas are ducks, geese, herons,egrets, shore birds, otter, mink, and beaver.

EngineeringThis section provides information for planning land

uses related to urban development and to watermanagement. Soils are rated for various uses, and the

most limiting features are identified. Ratings are givenfor building site development, sanitary facilities,construction materials, and water management. Theratings are based on observed performance of the soilsand on the estimated data and test data in the “SoilProperties” section.

Information in this section is intended for land useplanning, for evaluating land use alternatives, and forplanning site investigations prior to design andconstruction. The information, however, has limitations.For example, estimates and other data generally applyonly to that part of the soil within a depth of 5 or 6 feet.Because of the map scale, small areas of differentsoils may be included within the mapped areas of aspecific soil.

The information is not site specific and does noteliminate the need for onsite investigation of the soilsor for testing and analysis by personnel experienced inthe design and construction of engineering works.

Government ordinances and regulations that restrictcertain land uses or impose specific design criteriawere not considered in preparing the information in thissection. Local ordinances and regulations should beconsidered in planning, in site selection, and in design.

Soil properties, site features, and observedperformance were considered in determining the ratingsin this section. During the fieldwork for this soil survey,determinations were made about grain-size distribution,liquid limit, plasticity index, soil reaction, depth tobedrock, hardness of bedrock within 5 or 6 feet of thesurface, soil wetness, depth to a seasonal high watertable, slope, likelihood of flooding, natural soil structureaggregation, and soil density. Data were collectedabout kinds of clay minerals, mineralogy of the sandand silt fractions, and the kinds of adsorbed cations.Estimates were made for erodibility, permeability,corrosivity, shrink-swell potential, available watercapacity, and other behavioral characteristics affectingengineering uses.

This information can be used to evaluate thepotential of areas for residential, commercial,industrial, and recreational uses; make preliminaryestimates of construction conditions; evaluatealternative routes for roads, streets, highways,pipelines, and underground cables; evaluate alternativesites for sanitary landfills, septic tank absorption fields,and sewage lagoons; plan detailed onsiteinvestigations of soils and geology; locate potentialsources of gravel, sand, earthfill, and topsoil; plandrainage systems, irrigation systems, ponds, terraces,and other structures for soil and water conservation;and predict performance of proposed small structuresand pavements by comparing the performance ofexisting similar structures on the same or similar soils.


The information in the tables, along with the soilmaps, the soil descriptions, and other data provided inthis survey, can be used to make additionalinterpretations.

Some of the terms used in this soil survey have aspecial meaning in soil science and are defined in theGlossary.

Building Site Development

Table 10 shows the degree and kind of soillimitations that affect shallow excavations, dwellingswith and without basements, small commercialbuildings, local roads and streets, and lawns andlandscaping. The limitations are considered slight if soilproperties and site features are generally favorable forthe indicated use and limitations, if any, are minor andeasily overcome; moderate if soil properties or sitefeatures are somewhat restrictive for the indicated useand special planning, design, or maintenance isneeded to overcome or minimize the limitations; andsevere if soil properties or site features are sounfavorable to overcome that special design, soilreclamation, and possibly increased maintenance arerequired. Special feasibility studies may be requiredwhere the soil limitations are severe.

Shallow excavations are trenches or holes dug to amaximum depth of 5 or 6 feet for basements, graves,utility lines, open ditches, and other purposes. Theratings are based on soil properties, site features, andobserved performance of the soils. The ease ofdigging, filling, and compacting is affected by the depthto bedrock, a cemented pan, or a very firm denselayer; stone content; soil texture; and slope. The time ofthe year that excavations can be made is affected bythe depth to a seasonal high water table and thesusceptibility of the soil to flooding. The resistance ofthe excavation walls or banks to sloughing or caving isaffected by soil texture and depth to the water table.

Dwellings and small commercial buildings arestructures built on shallow foundations on undisturbedsoil. The load limit is the same as that for single-familydwellings no higher than three stories. Ratings aremade for small commercial buildings withoutbasements, for dwellings with basements, and fordwellings without basements. The ratings are based onsoil properties, site features, and observedperformance of the soils. A high water table, flooding,shrinking and swelling, and organic layers can causethe movement of footings. A high water table, depth tobedrock or to a cemented pan, large stones, slope, andflooding affect the ease of excavation andconstruction. Landscaping and grading that require cutsand fills of more than 5 or 6 feet are not considered.

Local roads and streets have an all-weather surfaceand carry automobile and light truck traffic all year.They have a subgrade of cut or fill soil material; a baseof gravel, crushed rock, or stabilized soil material; anda flexible or rigid surface. Cuts and fills are generallylimited to less than 6 feet. The ratings are based onsoil properties, site features, and observedperformance of the soils. Depth to bedrock or to acemented pan, a high water table, flooding, largestones, and slope affect the ease of excavating andgrading. Soil strength (as inferred from the engineeringclassification of the soil), shrink-swell potential, frostaction potential, and depth to a high water table affectthe traffic-supporting capacity.

Lawns and landscaping require soils on which turfand ornamental trees and shrubs can be establishedand maintained. The ratings are based on soilproperties, site features, and observed performance ofthe soils. Soil reaction, a high water table, depth tobedrock or to a cemented pan, the available watercapacity in the upper 40 inches, and the content ofsalts, sodium, and sulfidic materials affect plantgrowth. Flooding, wetness, slope, stoniness, and theamount of sand, clay, or organic matter in the surfacelayer affect trafficability after vegetation is established.

Sanitary Facilities

Table 11 shows the degree and kind of soillimitations that affect septic tank absorption fields,sewage lagoons, and sanitary landfills. The limitations,if any, are considered slight if soil properties and sitefeatures are generally favorable for the indicated useand limitations are minor and easily overcome;moderate if soil properties or site features aresomewhat restrictive for the indicated use and specialplanning, design, or maintenance is needed toovercome or minimize the limitations; and severe if oneor more soil properties or site features are unfavorablefor the use and overcoming the unfavorable propertiesrequires special design, extra maintenance, oralteration.

The table also shows the suitability of the soils foruse as daily cover for landfill. A rating of goodindicates that soil properties and site features arefavorable for the use and good performance and lowmaintenance can be expected; fair indicates that soilproperties and site features are moderately favorablefor the use and one or more soil properties or sitefeatures make the soil less desirable than the soilsrated good; and poor indicates that one or more soilproperties or site features are unfavorable for the useand overcoming the unfavorable properties requiresspecial design, extra maintenance, or costly alteration.

112 Soil Survey

Septic tank absorption fields are areas in whicheffluent from a septic tank is distributed into the soilthrough subsurface tiles or perforated pipe. Only thatpart of the soil between depths of 24 and 72 inches isevaluated. The ratings are based on soil properties,site features, and observed performance of the soils.Permeability, a high water table, depth to bedrock or toa cemented pan, and flooding affect absorption of theeffluent. Large stones and bedrock or a cemented paninterfere with installation.

Unsatisfactory performance of septic tankabsorption fields, including excessively slowabsorption of effluent, surfacing of effluent, and hillsideseepage, can affect public health. Ground water can bepolluted if highly permeable sand and gravel orfractured bedrock is less than 4 feet below the base ofthe absorption field, if slope is excessive, or if thewater table is near the surface. There must beunsaturated soil material beneath the absorption fieldto filter the effluent effectively. Many local ordinancesrequire that this material be of a certain thickness.

Sewage lagoons are shallow ponds constructed tohold sewage while aerobic bacteria decompose thesolid and liquid wastes. Lagoons should have a nearlylevel floor surrounded by cut slopes or embankmentsof compacted soil. Lagoons generally are designed tohold the sewage within a depth of 2 to 5 feet. Nearlyimpervious soil material for the lagoon floor and sidesis required to minimize seepage and contamination ofground water.

The table gives ratings for the natural soil thatmakes up the lagoon floor. The surface layer and,generally, 1 or 2 feet of soil material below the surfacelayer are excavated to provide material for theembankments. The ratings are based on soilproperties, site features, and observed performance ofthe soils. Considered in the ratings are slope,permeability, a high water table, depth to bedrock or toa cemented pan, flooding, large stones, and content oforganic matter.

Excessive seepage resulting from rapid permeabilityin the soil or a water table that is high enough to raisethe level of sewage in the lagoon causes a lagoon tofunction unsatisfactorily. Pollution results if seepage isexcessive or if floodwater overtops the lagoon. A highcontent of organic matter is detrimental to properfunctioning of the lagoon because it inhibits aerobicactivity. Slope, bedrock, and cemented pans cancause construction problems, and large stones canhinder compaction of the lagoon floor.

Sanitary landfills are areas where solid waste isdisposed of by burying it in soil. There are two types oflandfill—trench and area. In a trench landfill, the wasteis placed in a trench. It is spread, compacted, and

covered daily with a thin layer of soil excavated at thesite. In an area landfill, the waste is placed insuccessive layers on the surface of the soil. The wasteis spread, compacted, and covered daily with a thinlayer of soil from a source away from the site.

Both types of landfill must be able to bear heavyvehicular traffic. Both types involve a risk of ground-water pollution. Ease of excavation and revegetationshould be considered.

The ratings in the table are based on soil properties,site features, and observed performance of the soils.Permeability, depth to bedrock or to a cemented pan, ahigh water table, slope, and flooding affect both typesof landfill. Texture, stones and boulders, highly organiclayers, soil reaction, and content of salts and sodiumaffect trench landfills. Unless otherwise stated, theratings apply only to that part of the soil within a depthof about 6 feet. For deeper trenches, a limitation ratedslight or moderate may not be valid. Onsiteinvestigation is needed.

Daily cover for landfill is the soil material that isused to cover compacted solid waste in an areasanitary landfill. The soil material is obtained offsite,transported to the landfill, and spread over the waste.

Soil texture, wetness, coarse fragments, and slopeaffect the ease of removing and spreading the materialduring wet and dry periods. Loamy or silty soils that arefree of large stones or excess gravel are the bestcover for a landfill. Clayey soils are sticky or cloddyand are difficult to spread; sandy soils are subject towind erosion.

After soil material has been removed, the soilmaterial remaining in the borrow area must be thickenough over bedrock, a cemented pan, or the watertable to permit revegetation. The soil material used asthe final cover for a landfill should be suitable forplants. The surface layer generally has the bestworkability, more organic matter, and the best potentialfor plants. Material from the surface layer should bestockpiled for use as the final cover.

Construction Materials

Table 12 gives information about the soils as asource of roadfill, sand, gravel, and topsoil. The soilsare rated good, fair, or poor as a source of roadfill andtopsoil. They are rated as a probable or improbablesource of sand and gravel. The ratings are based onsoil properties and site features that affect the removalof the soil and its use as construction material. Normalcompaction, minor processing, and other standardconstruction practices are assumed. Each soil isevaluated to a depth of 5 or 6 feet.

Roadfill is soil material that is excavated in one


place and used in road embankments in another place.In this table, the soils are rated as a source of roadfillfor low embankments, generally less than 6 feet highand less exacting in design than higher embankments.

The ratings are for the soil material below thesurface layer to a depth of 5 or 6 feet. It is assumedthat soil layers will be mixed during excavating andspreading. Many soils have layers of contrastingsuitability within their profile. The table showingengineering index properties provides detailedinformation about each soil layer. This information canhelp to determine the suitability of each layer for useas roadfill. The performance of soil after it is stabilizedwith lime or cement is not considered in the ratings.

The ratings are based on soil properties, sitefeatures, and observed performance of the soils. Thethickness of suitable material is a major consideration.The ease of excavation is affected by large stones, ahigh water table, and slope. How well the soil performsin place after it has been compacted and drained isdetermined by its strength (as inferred from theengineering classification of the soil) and shrink-swellpotential.

Soils rated good contain significant amounts of sandor gravel or both. They have at least 5 feet of suitablematerial, a low shrink-swell potential, few cobbles andstones, and slopes of 15 percent or less. Depth to thewater table is more than 3 feet. Soils rated fair aremore than 35 percent silt- and clay-sized particles andhave a plasticity index of less than 10. They have amoderate shrink-swell potential, slopes of 15 to 25percent, or many stones. Depth to the water table is 1to 3 feet. Soils rated poor have a plasticity index ofmore than 10, a high shrink-swell potential, manystones, or slopes of more than 25 percent. They arewet and have a water table at a depth of less than 1foot. They may have layers of suitable material, but thematerial is less than 3 feet thick.

Sand and gravel are natural aggregates suitable forcommercial use with a minimum of processing. Theyare used in many kinds of construction. Specificationsfor each use vary widely. In the table, only theprobability of finding material in suitable quantity isevaluated. The suitability of the material for specificpurposes is not evaluated, nor are factors that affectexcavation of the material.

The properties used to evaluate the soil as a sourceof sand or gravel are gradation of grain sizes (asindicated by the engineering classification of the soil),the thickness of suitable material, and the content ofrock fragments. Kinds of rock, acidity, and stratificationare given in the soil series descriptions. Gradation ofgrain sizes is given in the table on engineering indexproperties.

A soil rated as a probable source has a layer ofclean sand or gravel or a layer of sand or gravel that isup to 12 percent silty fines. This material must be atleast 3 feet thick and less than 50 percent, by weight,large stones. All other soils are rated as an improbablesource. Coarse fragments of soft bedrock, such asshale and siltstone, are not considered to be sand andgravel.

Topsoil is used to cover an area so that vegetationcan be established and maintained. The upper 40inches of a soil is evaluated for use as topsoil. Alsoevaluated is the reclamation potential of the borrowarea.

Plant growth is affected by toxic material and bysuch properties as soil reaction, available watercapacity, and fertility. The ease of excavating, loading,and spreading is affected by rock fragments, slope, awater table, soil texture, and thickness of suitablematerial. Reclamation of the borrow area is affected byslope, a water table, rock fragments, bedrock, andtoxic material.

Soils rated good have friable, loamy material to adepth of at least 40 inches. They are free of stones andcobbles, have little or no gravel, and have slopes ofless than 8 percent. They are low in content of solublesalts, are naturally fertile or respond well to fertilizer,and are not so wet that excavation is difficult.

Soils rated fair are sandy soils, loamy soils thathave a relatively high content of clay, soils that haveonly 20 to 40 inches of suitable material, soils thathave an appreciable amount of gravel, stones, orsoluble salts, or soils that have slopes of 8 to 15percent. The soils are not so wet that excavation isdifficult.

Soils rated poor are very sandy or clayey, have lessthan 20 inches of suitable material, have a largeamount of gravel, stones, or soluble salts, have slopesof more than 15 percent, or have a seasonal high watertable at or near the surface.

The surface layer of most soils is generallypreferred for topsoil because of its organic mattercontent. Organic matter greatly increases theabsorption and retention of moisture and nutrients forplant growth.

Water Management

Table 13 gives information on the soil properties andsite features that affect water management. The degreeand kind of soil limitations are given for pond reservoirareas; embankments, dikes, and levees; and aquifer-fed excavated ponds. The limitations are consideredslight if soil properties and site features are generallyfavorable for the indicated use and limitations are

114

minor and are easily overcome; moderate if soilproperties or site features are not favorable for theindicated use and special planning, design, ormaintenance is needed to overcome or minimize thelimitations; and severe if soil properties or site featuresare so unfavorable or so difficult to overcome thatspecial design, significant increase in constructioncosts, and possibly increased maintenance arerequired.

This table also gives for each soil the restrictivefeatures that affect drainage, irrigation, terraces anddiversions, and grassed waterways.

Pond reservoir areas hold water behind a dam orembankment. Soils best suited to this use have lowseepage potential in the upper 60 inches. The seepagepotential is determined by the permeability of the soiland the depth to fractured bedrock or other permeablematerial. Excessive slope can affect the storagecapacity of the reservoir area.

Embankments, dikes, and levees are raisedstructures of soil material, generally less than 20 feethigh, constructed to impound water or to protect landagainst overflow. In this table, the soils are rated as asource of material for embankment fill. The ratingsapply to the soil material below the surface layer to adepth of about 5 feet. It is assumed that soil layers willbe uniformly mixed and compacted duringconstruction.

The ratings do not indicate the ability of the naturalsoil to support an embankment. Soil properties to adepth even greater than the height of the embankmentcan affect performance and safety of the embankment.Generally, deeper onsite investigation is needed todetermine these properties.

Soil material in embankments must be resistant toseepage, piping, and erosion and have favorablecompaction characteristics. Unfavorable featuresinclude less than 5 feet of suitable material and a highcontent of stones or boulders, organic matter, or saltsor sodium. A high water table affects the amount ofusable material. It also affects trafficability.

Aquifer-fed excavated ponds are pits or dugouts thatextend to a ground-water aquifer or to a depth below apermanent water table. Excluded are ponds that are fedonly by surface runoff and embankment ponds thatimpound water 3 feet or more above the originalsurface. Excavated ponds are affected by depth to apermanent water table, permeability of the aquifer, andquality of the water as inferred from the salinity of the

soil. Depth to bedrock and the content of large stonesaffect the ease of excavation.

Drainage is the removal of excess surface andsubsurface water from the soil. How easily andeffectively the soil is drained depends on the depth tobedrock, to a cemented pan, or to other layers thataffect the rate of water movement; permeability; depthto a high water table or depth of standing water if thesoil is subject to ponding; slope; susceptibility toflooding; subsidence of organic layers; and thepotential for frost action. Excavating and grading andthe stability of ditchbanks are affected by depth tobedrock or to a cemented pan, large stones, slope, andthe hazard of cutbanks caving. The productivity of thesoil after drainage is adversely affected by extremeacidity or by toxic substances in the root zone, suchas salts, sodium, and sulfur. Availability of drainageoutlets is not considered in the ratings.

Irrigation is the controlled application of water tosupplement rainfall and support plant growth. Thedesign and management of an irrigation system areaffected by depth to the water table, the need fordrainage, flooding, available water capacity, intakerate, permeability, erosion hazard, and slope. Theconstruction of a system is affected by large stonesand depth to bedrock or to a cemented pan. Theperformance of a system is affected by the depth ofthe root zone, the amount of salts or sodium, and soilreaction.

Terraces and diversions are embankments or acombination of channels and ridges constructed acrossa slope to control erosion and conserve moisture byintercepting runoff. Slope, wetness, large stones, anddepth to bedrock or to a cemented pan affect theconstruction of terraces and diversions. A restrictedrooting depth, a severe hazard of wind erosion orwater erosion, an excessively coarse texture, andrestricted permeability adversely affectmaintenance.

Grassed waterways are natural or constructedchannels, generally broad and shallow, that conductsurface water to outlets at a nonerosive velocity. Largestones, wetness, slope, and depth to bedrock or to acemented pan affect the construction of grassedwaterways. A hazard of wind erosion, low availablewater capacity, restricted rooting depth, toxicsubstances such as salts and sodium, and restrictedpermeability adversely affect the growth andmaintenance of the grass after construction.

Data relating to soil properties are collected duringthe course of the soil survey. The data and theestimates of soil and water features, listed in tables,are explained on the following pages.

Soil properties are determined by field examinationof the soils and by laboratory index testing of somebenchmark soils. Established standard procedures arefollowed. During the survey, many shallow borings aremade and examined to identify and classify the soilsand to delineate them on the soil maps. Samples aretaken from some typical profiles and tested in thelaboratory to determine grain-size distribution,plasticity, and compaction characteristics. Theseresults are reported in table 17.

Estimates of soil properties are based on fieldexaminations, on laboratory tests of samples from thesurvey area, and on laboratory tests of samples ofsimilar soils in nearby areas. Tests verify fieldobservations, verify properties that cannot beestimated accurately by field observation, and help tocharacterize key soils.

The estimates of soil properties shown in the tablesinclude the range of grain-size distribution andAtterberg limits, the engineering classification, and thephysical and chemical properties of the major layers ofeach soil. Pertinent soil and water features also aregiven.

Engineering Index PropertiesTable 14 gives estimates of the engineering

classification and of the range of index properties forthe major layers of each soil in the survey area. Mostsoils have layers of contrasting properties within theupper 5 or 6 feet.

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of eachlayer is indicated. The range in depth and informationon other properties of each layer are given for each soilseries under the heading “Soil Series and TheirMorphology.”

Texture is given in the standard terms used by theU.S. Department of Agriculture. These terms aredefined according to percentages of sand, silt, andclay in the fraction of the soil that is less than 2

millimeters in diameter. “Loam,” for example, is soil thatis 7 to 27 percent clay, 28 to 50 percent silt, and lessthan 52 percent sand. If the content of particlescoarser than sand is as much as about 15 percent, anappropriate modifier is added, for example, “gravelly.”Textural terms are defined in the Glossary.

Classification of the soils is determined according tothe Unified soil classification system (ASTM, 1993)and the system adopted by the American Associationof State Highway and Transportation Officials(AASTHO, 1986).

The Unified system classifies soils according toproperties that affect their use as constructionmaterial. Soils are classified according to grain-sizedistribution of the fraction less than 3 inches indiameter and according to plasticity index, liquid limit,and organic matter content. Sandy and gravelly soilsare identified as GW, GP, GM, GC, SW, SP, SM, andSC; silty and clayey soils as ML, CL, OL, MH, CH, andOH; and highly organic soils as PT. Soils exhibitingengineering properties of two groups can have a dualclassification, for example, CL-ML.

The AASHTO system classifies soils according tothose properties that affect roadway construction andmaintenance. In this system, the fraction of a mineralsoil that is less than 3 inches in diameter is classifiedin one of seven groups from A-1 through A-7 on thebasis of grain-size distribution, liquid limit, andplasticity index. Soils in group A-1 are coarse grainedand low in content of fines (silt and clay). At the otherextreme, soils in group A-7 are fine grained. Highlyorganic soils are classified in group A-8 on the basis ofvisual inspection.

If laboratory data are available, the A-1, A-2, and A-7 groups are further classified as A-1-a, A-1-b, A-2-4,A-2-5, A-2-6, A-2-7, A-7-5, or A-7-6. The AASHTOclassification for soils tested is given in table 14.

Rock fragments 3 to 10 inches in diameter areindicated as a percentage of the total soil on a dry-weight basis. The percentages are estimatesdetermined mainly by converting volume percentage inthe field to weight percentage.

Percentage (of soil particles) passing designatedsieves is the percentage of the soil fraction less than 3

inches in diameter based on an ovendry weight. Thesieves, numbers 4, 10, 40, and 200 (USA StandardSeries), have openings of 4.76, 2.00, 0.420, and 0.074millimeters, respectively. Estimates are based onlaboratory tests of soils sampled in the survey areaand in nearby areas and on estimates made in thefield.

Liquid limit and plasticity index (Atterberg limits)indicate the plasticity characteristics of a soil. Theestimates are based on test data from the survey areaor from nearby areas and on field examination.

Physical and Chemical PropertiesTable 15 shows estimates of some characteristics

and features that affect soil behavior. These estimatesare given for the major layers of each soil in the surveyarea. The estimates are based on field observationsand on test data for these and similar soils.

Clay as a soil separate consists of mineral soilparticles that are less than 0.002 millimeter indiameter. In this table, the estimated clay content ofeach major soil layer is given as a percentage, byweight, of the soil material that is less than 2millimeters in diameter.

The amount and kind of clay greatly affect thefertility and physical condition of the soil. Theydetermine the ability of the soil to adsorb cations andto retain moisture. They influence shrink-swellpotential, permeability, plasticity, the ease of soildispersion, and other soil properties. The amount andkind of clay in a soil also affect tillage and earthmovingoperations.

Moist bulk density is the weight of soil (ovendry) perunit volume. Volume is measured when the soil is atfield moisture capacity, that is, the moisture content at1/3-bar moisture tension. Weight is determined afterdrying the soil at 105 degrees C. In this table, theestimated moist bulk density of each major soil horizonis expressed in grams per cubic centimeter of soilmaterial that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter.Bulk density data are used to compute shrink-swellpotential, available water capacity, total pore space,and other soil properties. The moist bulk density of asoil indicates the pore space available for water androots. A bulk density of more than 1.6 can restrictwater storage and root penetration. Moist bulk densityis influenced by texture, kind of clay, content oforganic matter, and soil structure.

Permeability refers to the ability of a soil to transmitwater or air. The estimates indicate the rate ofdownward movement of water when the soil issaturated. They are based on soil characteristics

observed in the field, particularly structure, porosity,and texture. Permeability is considered in the design ofsoil drainage systems and septic tank absorptionfields.

Available water capacity refers to the quantity ofwater that the soil is capable of storing for use byplants. The capacity for water storage is given ininches of water per inch of soil for each major soillayer. The capacity varies, depending on soil propertiesthat affect the retention of water and the depth of theroot zone. The most important properties are thecontent of organic matter, soil texture, bulk density,and soil structure. Available water capacity is animportant factor in the choice of plants or crops to begrown and in the design and management of irrigationsystems. Available water capacity is not an estimate ofthe quantity of water actually available to plants at anygiven time.

Soil reaction is a measure of acidity or alkalinity andis expressed as a range in pH values. The range in pHof each major horizon is based on many field tests. Formany soils, values have been verified by laboratoryanalyses. Soil reaction is important in selecting cropsand other plants, in evaluating soil amendments forfertility and stabilization, and in determining the risk ofcorrosion.

Salinity is a measure of soluble salts in the soil atsaturation. It is expressed as the electrical conductivityof the saturation extract, in millimhos per centimeter at25 degrees C. Estimates are based on field andlaboratory measurements at representative sites ofnonirrigated soils. The salinity of irrigated soils isaffected by the quality of the irrigation water and by thefrequency of water application. Hence, the salinity ofsoils in individual fields can differ greatly from thevalue given in the table. Salinity affects the suitabilityof a soil for crop production, the stability of soil if usedas construction material, and the potential of the soil tocorrode metal and concrete.

Shrink-swell potential is the potential for volumechange in a soil with a loss or gain in moisture. Volumechange occurs mainly because of the interaction ofclay minerals with water and varies with the amountand type of clay minerals in the soil. The size of theload on the soil and the magnitude of the change in soilmoisture content influence the amount of swelling ofsoils in place. Laboratory measurements of swelling ofundisturbed clods were made for many soils. Forothers, swelling was estimated on the basis of the kindand amount of clay minerals in the soil and onmeasurements of similar soils.

If the shrink-swell potential is rated moderate to veryhigh, shrinking and swelling can cause damage to


buildings, roads, and other structures. Special designis often needed.

Shrink-swell potential classes are based on thechange in length of an unconfined clod as moisturecontent is increased from air-dry to field capacity. Theclasses are low, a change of less than 3 percent;moderate, 3 to 6 percent; high, more than 6 percent;and very high, greater than 9 percent.

Erosion factor K indicates the susceptibility of a soilto sheet and rill erosion by water. Factor K is one of sixfactors used in the Universal Soil Loss Equation(USLE) to predict the average annual rate of soil lossby sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year. Theestimates are based primarily on percentage of silt,sand, and organic matter (up to 4 percent) and on soilstructure and permeability. Values of K range from 0.02to 0.64. Other factors being equal, the higher the value,the more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosionby water.

Erosion factor T is an estimate of the maximumaverage annual rate of soil erosion by wind or waterthat can occur without affecting crop productivity overa sustained period. The rate is in tons per acre peryear.

Wind erodibility groups are made up of soils thathave similar properties affecting their resistance towind erosion in cultivated areas. The groups indicatethe susceptibility of soil to wind erosion. The soilsassigned to group 1 are the most susceptible to winderosion, and those assigned to group 8 are the leastsusceptible. The groups are as follows:

1. Coarse sands, sands, fine sands, and very finesands.

2. Loamy coarse sands, loamy sands, loamy finesands, loamy very fine sands, ash material, and sapricsoil material.

3. Coarse sandy loams, sandy loams, fine sandyloams, and very fine sandy loams.

4L. Calcareous loams, silt loams, clay loams, andsilty clay loams.

4. Clays, silty clays, noncalcareous clay loams,and silty clay loams that are more than 35 percentclay.

5. Noncalcareous loams and silt loams that areless than 20 percent clay and sandy clay loams, sandyclays, and hemic soil material.

6. Noncalcareous loams and silt loams that aremore than 20 percent clay and noncalcareous clayloams that are less than 35 percent clay.

7. Silts, noncalcareous silty clay loams that areless than 35 percent clay, and fibric soil material.

8. Soils that are not subject to wind erosionbecause of coarse fragments on the surface orbecause of surface wetness.

Organic matter is the plant and animal residue in thesoil at various stages of decomposition. In the table,the estimated content of organic matter is expressedas a percentage, by weight, of the soil material that isless than 2 millimeters in diameter.

The content of organic matter in a soil can bemaintained or increased by returning crop residue tothe soil. Organic matter affects the available watercapacity, infiltration rate, and tilth. It is a source ofnitrogen and other nutrients for crops.

Soil and Water FeaturesTable 16 gives estimates of various soil and water

features. The estimates are used in land use planningthat involves engineering considerations.

Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates ofrunoff potential. Soils are assigned to one of fourgroups according to the rate of water infiltration whenthe soils are not protected by vegetation, arethoroughly wet, and receive precipitation from long-duration storms.

The four hydrologic soil groups are:Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low

runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consistmainly of deep, well drained to excessively drainedsands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rateof water transmission.

Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration ratewhen thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly ofmoderately deep or deep, moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately fine texture tomoderately coarse texture. These soils have amoderate rate of water transmission.

Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate whenthoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of soils having alayer that impedes the downward movement of water orsoils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. Thesesoils have a slow rate of water transmission.

Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate(high runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. Theseconsist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swellpotential, soils that have a high water table, soils thathave a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface, andsoils that are shallow over nearly impervious material.These soils have a very slow rate of watertransmission.

If a soil is assigned to two hydrologic groups in thetable, the first letter is for drained areas and thesecond is for undrained areas.

Flooding, the temporary inundation of an area, iscaused by overflowing streams, by runoff fromadjacent slopes, or by tides. Water standing for shortperiods after rainfall or snowmelt is not considered

118 Soil Survey

flooding, and water standing in swamps and marshesis considered ponding rather than flooding.

The table gives the frequency and duration offlooding and the time of year when flooding is mostlikely.

Frequency, duration, and probable dates ofoccurrence are estimated. Frequency is expressed asnone, rare, occasional, and frequent. None means thatflooding is not probable; rare that it is unlikely butpossible under unusual weather conditions (the chanceof flooding is nearly 0 percent to 5 percent in any year);occasional that it occurs, on the average, once or lessin 2 years (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent inany year); and frequent that it occurs, on the average,more than once in 2 years (the chance of flooding ismore than 50 percent in any year). Common is usedwhen the occasional and frequent classes are groupedfor certain purposes. Duration is expressed as verybrief if less than 2 days, brief if 2 to 7 days, long if 7days to 1 month, and very long if more than 1 month.Probable dates are expressed in months. About two-thirds to three-fourths of all flooding occurs during thestated period.

The information is based on evidence in the soilprofile, namely thin strata of gravel, sand, silt, or claydeposited by floodwater; irregular decrease in organicmatter content with increasing depth; and little or nohorizon development.

Also considered are local information about theextent and levels of flooding and the relation of eachsoil on the landscape to historic floods. Information onthe extent of flooding based on soil data is lessspecific than that provided by detailed engineeringsurveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specificflood frequency levels.

High water table (seasonal) is the highest level of asaturated zone in the soil in most years. The estimatesare based mainly on observations of the water table atselected sites and on the evidence of a saturatedzone, namely grayish colors or mottles (redoximorphicfeatures) in the soil. Indicated in the table are the depthto the seasonal high water table; the kind of watertable—that is, perched or apparent; and the months ofthe year that the water table commonly is high. A watertable that is seasonally high for less than 1 month isnot indicated in the table.

An apparent water table is a thick zone of free waterin the soil. It is indicated by the level at which waterstands in an uncased borehole after adequate time isallowed for adjustment in the surrounding soil. Aperched water table is water standing above anunsaturated zone. In places an upper, or perched, watertable is separated from a lower one by a dry zone.

Two numbers in the column showing depth to thewater table indicate the normal range in depth to asaturated zone. Depth is given to the nearest half foot.The first numeral in the range indicates the highestwater level. A plus sign preceding the range in depthindicates that the water table is above the surface ofthe soil. “More than 6.0” indicates that the water tableis below a depth of 6 feet or that it is within a depth of6 feet for less than a month.

Depth to bedrock is given if bedrock is within adepth of 5 feet. The depth is based on many soilborings and on observations during soil mapping.Hardness of bedrock is designated as either soft orhard. If the rock is soft or fractured, excavations canbe made with trenching machines, backhoes, or smallrippers. If the rock is hard or massive, blasting orspecial equipment generally is needed for excavation.In most of Taylor County, the upper 6 inches to 2 feetof the bedrock is soft weathered limestone overlyinghard unweathered limestone.

Subsidence is the settlement of organic soils or ofsaturated mineral soils of very low density. Subsidencegenerally results from either desiccation and shrinkageor oxidation of organic material, or both, followingdrainage. Subsidence takes place gradually, usuallyover a period of several years. The table shows theexpected initial subsidence, which usually is a result ofdrainage, and total subsidence, which results from acombination of factors.

Risk of corrosion pertains to potential soil-inducedelectrochemical or chemical action that dissolves orweakens uncoated steel or concrete. The rate ofcorrosion of uncoated steel is related to such factorsas soil moisture, particle-size distribution, acidity, andelectrical conductivity of the soil. The rate of corrosionof concrete is based mainly on the sulfate and sodiumcontent, texture, moisture content, and acidity of thesoil. Special site examination and design may beneeded if the combination of factors results in a severehazard of corrosion. The steel in installations thatintersect soil boundaries or soil layers is moresusceptible to corrosion than steel in installations thatare entirely within one kind of soil or within one soillayer.

For uncoated steel, the risk of corrosion, expressedas low, moderate, or high, is based on soil drainageclass, total acidity, electrical resistivity near fieldcapacity, and electrical conductivity of the saturationextract.

For concrete, the risk of corrosion is also expressedas low, moderate, or high. It is based on soil texture,acidity, and amount of sulfates in the saturationextract.


Physical, Chemical, andMineralogical Analyses ofSelected Soils

Mary E. Collins, professor of environmental pedology, Soil andWater Science Department, University of Florida, prepared thissection.

Physical, chemical, and mineralogical properties ofrepresentative pedons sampled in Dixie, Jefferson,Lafayette, Madison, and Taylor counties are presentedin tables 17, 18, 19, and 20. The soils were sampled inDixie County in 1990; in Jefferson County in 1989 and1990; in Lafayette County in 1989 and 1990; inMadison County in 1983, 1984, and 1985; and in TaylorCounty in 1988, 1989, and 1990. The soils sampled inthese counties represent soils mapped in TaylorCounty. The analyses were conducted and coordinatedby the Soil Characterization Laboratory at theUniversity of Florida (USDA, 1961). Soils were sampledfrom pits of carefully selected pedons that are typicalof the series. Detailed profile descriptions of theanalyzed soils are given in alphabetical order in thesection “Soil Series and Their Morphology.” Laboratorydata and profile information for other soils in TaylorCounty and other counties in Florida are on file at theSoil and Water Science Department, University ofFlorida.

Samples were air-dried, crushed, and sieved througha 2-millimeter screen. Particle-size distribution wasdetermined using a modified pipette method withsodium hexametaphosphate as the dispersant.Hydraulic conductivity, bulk density, and water contentwere determined on undisturbed core samples. Thecontent of organic carbon was determined using amodified version of the Walkley-Black wet combustionmethod. Extractable bases were obtained by leachingsoils with ammonium acetate buffered at pH 7.0. Thecontent of sodium and potassium in the extract wasdetermined by flame emission, and the content ofcalcium and magnesium was determined by atomicabsorption spectrophotometry. Extractable acidity wasdetermined by the barium chloride-triethanolaminemethod at pH 8.2. Cation-exchange capacity wascalculated by summation of extractable bases andextractable acidity. Base saturation is the ratio ofextractable bases to cation-exchange capacity. The pHwas measured with a glass electrode in water using asoil-water ratio of 1:1, in 0.01M calcium chloridesolution using a soil-solution ratio of 1:2, and in 1normal potassium chloride solution using a soil-solutionratio of 1:1.

Carbon, iron, and aluminum were extracted fromprobable spodic horizons using 0.1M sodiumpyrophosphate. Determination of iron and aluminum

was by atomic absorption spectroscopy, anddetermination of extracted carbon was by the Walkley-Black wet combustion method. Mineralogy of the clayfraction less than 2 microns was ascertained by X-raydiffraction. Peak heights at 18 angstrom, 14 angstrom,7.2 angstrom, 4.83 angstrom, and 4.31 angstrompositions represent montmorillonite, interstratifiedexpandable vermiculite or 14-angstrom intergrades,kaolinite, gibbsite, and quartz, respectively. Peakswere measured, summed, and normalized to give thepercentage of soil minerals identified in the X-raydiffractograms. This percentage is not an absolutequantity but a relative distribution of clay minerals inthe clay fraction. The absolute percentage wouldrequire additional knowledge of particle size,crystallinity, and crystal lattice substitution.

Physical Analyses

The soils that were sampled for laboratory analysesin Taylor County and other counties as representativesoils for Taylor County are inherently sandy; however,many of these soils have an argillic horizon in thelower part of the solum. The results of these analysesare reported in table 17. The total content of sand ismore than 90 percent in one or more horizons in all ofthe sampled soils. Ortega, Osier, Mandarin, Hurricane,Leon, and Chipley soils contain more than 93 percentsand to a depth of 2 meters or more. Albany, Chaires,Lutterloh, Meadowbrook, and Otela soils contain morethan 90 percent sand to a depth of slightly more than 1meter.

The content of clay in the sandy horizons is rarelymore than 3.5 percent. Deeper argillic horizons in theAlbany, Chiefland, Chaires, Lutterloh, Mascotte,Meadowbrook, Melvina, Moriah, Nutall, Ocilla, Otela,Plummer, Sapelo, and Tooles soils contain largeramounts of clay, ranging from 10.8 to 37.4 percent.

The content of silt in the analyzed soils ranges from0.1 to 11.5 percent. The highest content of silt is in theAlbany, Lynn Haven, Meadowbrook, and Otela soils.All of the sampled horizons in the Albany and Otelasoils contain more than 4.5 percent silt. All of thesampled horizons in the Chipley, Hurricane, Lutterloh,Ortega, Osier, Resota, Ridgewood, and Tennille soilscontain less than 4 percent silt.

Fine sand dominates the sand fraction of all thesoils in Taylor County. It commonly makes up morethan 50 percent of the sand fraction. The content ofvery fine sand is more than 20 percent in one or morehorizons in the Meadowbrook, Otela, and Sapelo soils.The content of medium sand is more than 20 percentin one or more horizons in the Albany, Bayvi, Chaires,Chiefland, Chipley, Leon, Mascotte, Meadowbrook,

120 Soil Survey

Moriah, Ocilla, Osier, Resota, Seaboard, Tooles, andWekiva soils. The content of coarse sand is more than7.5 percent in one or more horizons in the Albany,Chaires, Chipley, Leon, Mascotte, and Osier soils. Thecontent of very coarse sand generally ranges fromnondetectable to about 2.3 percent. The very sandysoils, such as the Chipley and Ortega soils, rapidlybecome droughty during periods of low precipitationwhen rainfall is widely scattered. Soils that haveinherently poor drainage remain saturated becauseground water is close to the surface for long periods.Examples are the Chaires and Plummer soils

Hydraulic conductivity exceeds 25 centimeters perhour in all horizons in the Hurricane, Ortega, Osier,Resota, Ridgewood, and Tennille soils. Low hydraulicconductivity at a shallow depth, such as occurs in theMascotte, Ocilla, and Sapelo soils, can affect thedesign and function of septic tank absorption fields.Albany, Mascotte, Melvina, Meadowbrook, Moriah,Ocilla, Otela, and Sapelo soils have one or morehorizons that have hydraulic conductivity of 0.2centimeter per hour or less. The available water forplants can be estimated from bulk density and watercontent data. Thick, sandy soils, such as Resota andRidgewood soils, retain very low amounts of availablewater. Conversely, soils that have a higher content oforganic matter or finer-textured material at shallowerdepths retain much larger amounts of available water.Examples are Pamlico muck and Mascotte sand.

Chemical Analyses

The analyses of chemical properties reported intable 18 indicate that the soils in Taylor County containa wide range of extractable bases. All of the soils thatwere sampled contained one or more horizons thathave less than 1 milliequivalent per 100 gramsextractable bases. Moriah soils have the largestamount of extractable bases, ranging up to 38.72milliequivalents per 100 grams in the Bt2 horizon.Hurricane fine sand has the smallest amount, rangingfrom 0.00 to 0.11 milliequivalents per 100 grams.Hurricane, Mandarin, Mascotte, Ocilla, Ortega, Osier,Plummer, and Ridgewood soils contain less than 1milliequivalent per 100 grams extractable bases in allhorizons. Only one horizon in each of the Albany,Chipley, Leon, and Lynn Haven soils has more than 1milliequivalent per 100 grams extractable bases.

Calcium is the dominant base in all of the sampledsoils. In most of the soils, the largest content ofcalcium is in the Bt or Btg horizon. The overlying A andE horizons generally have a much lower content ofcalcium.

The highest content of magnesium is 12.76

milliequivalents per 100 grams in the Bt2 horizon ofMoriah fine sand. The lowest content is 0.01milliequivalents per 100 grams or less in one or morehorizons of the Albany, Chaires, Chipley, Hurricane,Leon, Lutterloh, Mandarin, Mascotte, Melvina, Ortega,Osier, Pamlico, Plummer, Resota, Ridgewood, andSapelo soils. The content of sodium generally is muchless than 0.20 milliequivalents per 100 grams. Nearlyall the soils contain 0.05 milliequivalents or less ofsodium to a depth of 2 meters or more. The LynnHaven and Pamlico soils, which have a mucky surfacelayer, contain higher levels of sodium in the surfacelayer.

All of the sampled soils contain one or morehorizons that have 0.02 milliequivalents per 100 gramsor less extractable potassium, except the Bayvi soils,which have horizons ranging up to 1.48 milliequivalentsper 100 grams. One or more horizons of the Chaires,Chipley, Hurricane, Leon, Lutterloh, Lynn Haven,Mascotte, Melvina, Nutall, Ocilla, Ortega, Osier,Plummer, and Ridgewood soils, do not have detectableamounts of potassium.

Values for cation-exchange capacity (sum ofcations), which is an indicator of plant-nutrientcapacity, are more than 10 milliequivalents per 100grams in the surface layer of the Chaires, Chiefland,Leon, Lynn Haven, Nutall, Pamlico, and Tennille soils.Soils that have low cation-exchange capacity in thesurface layer require only small amounts of lime orsulfur to significantly alter the base status and soilreaction. Examples are the Moriah and Ortega soils.Generally, soils that have low inherent soil fertility areassociated with low values for extractable bases andlow cation-exchange capacity. Fertile soils areassociated with high values for extractable bases, highvalues for base saturation, and high cation-exchangecapacity.

The content of organic carbon in the surface layer isless than 1 percent in the Melvina, Moriah, Ortega,Osier, Plummer, Resota, and Tooles soils and less than3 percent in all sampled soils, except the Lynn Haven,Nutall, Pamlico, and Tennille soils.

Electrical conductivity is less than 0.10 millimhosper centimeter in all sampled soils, except the Bayvi,Lynn Haven, Meadowbrook, Melvina, Moriah, Resota,and Tennille soils. Values of 0.01 millimhos percentimeter or less are in at least one horizon in theChaires, Chipley, Hurricane, Leon, Mandarin, Osier,Otela, Pamlico, Sapelo, and Tooles soils. These dataindicate that the content of soluble salt in the soils inTaylor County generally is insufficient to detrimentallyaffect the growth of salt-sensitive plants. The onlyexceptions may be the wet soils along the coastalareas.


Reaction of the sampled soils in water is generallybetween pH 3.8 and 5.5, but ranges from 7.0 to 7.7 inthe Bt or Btg horizon in the Meadowbrook, Melvina,Moriah, and Nutall soils. Reaction of the sampled soilsis generally about 0.2 to 1.0 pH unit lower in calciumchloride and potassium chloride than in water.Maximum availability of nutrients for plants generally isattained when soil reaction is between pH 6.5 and 7.0;however, maintaining soil reaction above pH 6.5 inFlorida is not economically feasible for mostagricultural production purposes.

Pyrophosphate extractable carbon, iron, andaluminum are in all of the Bh horizons. Soil morphologywas used to determine the spodic horizons. Citrate-dithionite extractable iron and aluminum is in the Bthorizon of a few soils. The content of extractable ironranges from 0.01 to 3.33 percent and is commonly lessthan 0.10 percent. The content of extractable aluminumranges from 0.03 to 0.29 percent. The content of ironand aluminum in the soils in the county is not sufficientto detrimentally affect phosphorus availability.

Mineralogical Analyses

The sand fractions of 2 to 0.05 millimeters aresiliceous, and quartz is overwhelmingly dominant in allpedons. Varying amounts of heavy minerals are inmost horizons. The greatest concentration is in thevery fine sand fraction. No weatherable minerals areobserved. Crystalline mineral components in the clayfraction of less than 0.002 millimeter are shown in table19 for the major horizons of the sampled pedons. Theclay mineralogical suite consists mostly ofmontmorillonite, a 14-angstrom intergrade, kaolinite,and quartz.

The montmorillonite is present only in selectedhorizons of the Chaires, Chipley, Leon, Lynn Haven,Mascotte, Nutall, Ortega, Plummer, Ridgewood, andTooles soils. The 14-angstrom intergrade mineral ispresent in all of the soils that were analyzed. Kaolinite,generally the dominant clay mineral of the soils inTaylor County, is also present in all pedons of thesampled soils. The content of mica is insufficient forthe assignment of numerical values. The Tooles soilsare the only sampled soils that contain gibbsite.

The montmorillonite is generally inherited from thesediments in which the soils formed. The stability ofmontmorillonite is generally favored by high levels ofpH in areas where the alkaline elements have not beenleached by percolation of rainwater; however,montmorillonite can be present in moderate amountsregardless of drainage or chemical conditions.

The 14-angstrom intergrade, a mineral of uncertainorigin, is widespread in Florida soils. It tends to be

more prevalent under moderately acidic, relatively welldrained conditions; however, it is present in a variety ofsoil environments. It is a major constituent of coatingsof sand grains in Chipley soils, and the amount ofcoatings in these soils is sufficient to meet taxonomiccriteria established for the recognition of coated TypicQuartzipsamments.

The Kaolinite is most likely inherited from the parentmaterial, but some may have formed as a weatheringproduct of other minerals. Kaolinite is relatively stablein the acidic environments of the soils in Taylor County.

The clay-sized quartz has primarily resulted fromdecrements of the silt fraction.

Clay mineralogy can have a significant impact onsoil properties, particularly for soils that have a highercontent of clay. Soils that contain montmorillonitic clayhave a higher capacity for retaining plant nutrients thansoils dominated by kaolinite, the 14-angstromintergrade, or quartz. The clay mineralogy influencesthe use and management of soils in the county lessfrequently than the total content of clay.

Engineering Index Test DataTable 20 shows laboratory test data for several

pedons sampled at carefully selected sites in thesurvey area. The tests were conducted to help evaluatethe soils for engineering purposes. The classificationsare based on data obtained by mechanical analysesand by tests that determine liquid limits and plasticlimits. The pedons are representative of the seriesdescribed in the section “Soil Series and TheirMorphology.” The soil samples were tested by the SoilsLaboratory, Florida Department of Transportation,Bureau of Materials and Research, Gainesville, Florida.

The testing methods generally are those of theAmerican Association of State Highway andTransportation Officials (AASHTO) or the AmericanSociety for Testing and Materials (ASTM).

The tests and methods are AASHTOclassification—M 145 (AASHTO), D 3282 (ASTM);Unified classification—D 2487 (ASTM); Mechanicalanalysis—T 88 (AASHTO), D 422 (ASTM), D 2217(ASTM); Liquid limit—T 89 (AASHTO), D 4318 (ASTM);Plasticity index—T 90 (AASHTO), D 4318 (ASTM); andMoisture density—T 99 (AASHTO), D 698 (ASTM).

The mechanical analyses were made by combinedsieve and hydrometer methods (USDA, 1992). In thesemethods, the various grain-sized fractions arecalculated on the basis of all the material in the soilsample, including the material that is coarser than 2millimeters in diameter. The mechanical analyses usedin this method should not be used in naming texturalclasses of soils.

Liquid limit and plasticity index indicate the effect ofwater on the strength and consistence of the soilmaterial. As the moisture content of a clayey soil isincreased from a dry state, the material changes froma semisolid to a plastic state. If the moisture content isfurther increased, the material changes from a plasticto a liquid state. The plastic limit is the moisturecontent at which the soil material changes from asemisolid to a plastic state, and the liquid limit is themoisture content at which the soil material changesfrom a plastic to a liquid state. The plasticity index isthe numerical difference between the liquid limit andthe plastic limit. It indicates the range of moisturecontent within which a soil material is plastic. The data

on liquid limit and plasticity index in the table arebased on laboratory tests of soil samples.

Compaction (or moisture density) data areimportant in earthwork. If soil material is compactedat a successively higher moisture content,assuming that the compaction effort remainsconstant, the density of the compacted materialincreases until the optimum moisture content isreached. After that, density decreases with increasein moisture content. The highest dry densityobtained in the compaction test is termed maximumdry density. As a rule, maximum strength ofearthwork is obtained if the soil is compacted to themaximum dry density.

123

The system of soil classification used by theNational Cooperative Soil Survey has six categories(USDA, 1975; USDA, 1998). Beginning with thebroadest, these categories are the order, suborder,great group, subgroup, family, and series.Classification is based on soil properties observed inthe field or inferred from those observations or fromlaboratory measurements. Table 21 shows theclassification of the soils in the survey area. Thecategories are defined in the following paragraphs.

ORDER. Twelve soil orders are recognized. Thedifferences among orders reflect the dominant soil-forming processes and the degree of soil formation.Each order is identified by a word ending in sol. Anexample is Spodosol.

SUBORDER. Each order is divided into subordersprimarily on the basis of properties that influence soilgenesis and are important to plant growth or propertiesthat reflect the most important variables within theorders. The last syllable in the name of a suborderindicates the order. An example is Aquod (Aqu,meaning Aquic, plus od, from Spodosol).

GREAT GROUP. Each suborder is divided into greatgroups on the basis of close similarities in kind,arrangement, and degree of development of pedogenichorizons; soil moisture and temperature regimes; typeof saturation; and base status. Each great group isidentified by the name of a suborder and by a prefixthat indicates a property of the soil. An example isAlaquods (Al, meaning low iron content, plus aquod,the suborder of the Spodosols that has an Aquicmoisture regime).

SUBGROUP. Each great group has a typicsubgroup. Other subgroups are intergrades orextragrades. The typic subgroup is the central conceptof the great group; it is not necessarily the mostextensive. Intergrades are transitions to other orders,suborders, or great groups. Extragrades have someproperties that are not representative of the great groupbut do not indicate transitions to any other taxonomicclass. Each subgroup is identified by one or moreadjectives preceding the name of the great group. Theadjective Typic identifies the subgroup that typifies thegreat group. An example is Typic Alaquods.

FAMILY. Families are established within a subgroup

on the basis of physical and chemical properties andother characteristics that affect management.Generally, the properties are those of horizons belowplow depth where there is much biological activity.Among the properties and characteristics consideredare particle size, mineral content, soil temperatureregime, soil depth, and reaction. A family nameconsists of the name of a subgroup preceded by termsthat indicate soil properties. An example is sandy,siliceous, thermic Typic Alaquods.

SERIES. The series consists of soils within a familythat have horizons similar in color, texture, structure,reaction, consistence, mineral and chemicalcomposition, and arrangement in the profile.

Soil Series and Their MorphologyIn this section, each soil series recognized in the

survey area is described. Characteristics of the soiland the material in which it formed are identified foreach series. A pedon, a small three-dimensional areaof soil, that is typical of the series in the survey area isdescribed. The detailed description of each soil horizonfollows standards in the “Soil Survey Manual” (USDA,1993). Many of the technical terms used in thedescriptions are defined in “Soil Taxonomy” (USDA,1975) and in “Keys to Soil Taxonomy” (USDA, 1998).Unless otherwise indicated, colors in the descriptionsare for moist soil. Following the pedon description isthe range of important characteristics of the soils inthe series.

The map units of each soil series are described inthe section “Detailed Soil Map Units.”

In this section, the factors of soil formation aredescribed and related to the soils in Taylor County. Theprocesses of horizon differentiation are also explained,and the geomorphology of the county is described.

Factors of Soil FormationThe kind of soil that forms in an area depends on

five major factors. These factors are the physical andmineral composition of the parent material; the climateunder which the soil material has accumulated and hasexisted since accumulation; the organisms, or plantand animal life on and in the soil; the relief, or lay ofthe land; and the length of time that these factors haveacted on the soil material (Jenny, 1941; Jenny, 1980).All of these factors affect the formation of each soil,but the relative importance of each factor differs fromplace to place. In some areas one factor may dominatethe formation of a soil and determine most of the soilproperties. For example, if the parent material consistsof pure quartz sand, which is highly resistant toweathering, the soil generally has weakly expressedhorizons. Even in quartz sand, however, a distinctprofile can be formed under certain types of vegetationif the relief is low and flat and the water table is high.

The interrelationship among these five factors iscomplex, and the effects of any one factor cannot beisolated and completely evaluated. Each factor isdescribed separately, and the probable effects of eachare indicated.

Parent Material

The parent materials of the soils in Taylor Countyconsist mostly of deposits of marine origin. Thesedeposits are mostly quartz sand and contain varyingamounts of clay and shell fragments. Limestone anddolostone form near-surface bedrock in most of thecounty. Clay is more abundant in the soils that formedin the sediment on marine terraces and in lagoons. It isvirtually absent on shoreline ridges where mostdeposits are eolian sand. The parent material wastransported by ocean currents. The ocean covered thearea a number of times during the Pleistocene age.

The parent materials in the county differ somewhat

in mineral and chemical composition and in physicalstructure. The main physical differences, such asthose between sand, silt, and clay, can be observed inthe field. Other differences, such as mineral andchemical composition, are important to soil formationand affect the physical and chemical characteristics ofthe soils. Many differences among the soils in thecounty reflect original differences in the parent materialas it was laid down.

Some organic soils are located throughout thecounty. They formed in partly decayed wetlandvegetation.

Climate

Climate, particularly temperature and rainfall, is themain factor that determines the rate and nature of thephysical, chemical, and biological processes thataffect the weathering of soil material. Rainfall, changesin temperature, wind, and sun advance the breakdownof rocks and minerals, the release of chemicals, andother processes that affect the development of thesoils. The amount of water that percolates through asoil depends on rainfall, relative humidity, permeabilityof the soil, and physiographic position of the soil.Temperature influences the kinds of organisms in asoil, the growth of the organisms, and the speed ofphysical and chemical reactions in the soil.

Taylor County has a warm, humid climatecharacterized by long, hot summers and short, mildwinters. The soils generally have a low content ofbases because most of the rainfall percolatesdownward through the soil. Because the rainfallgenerally is well distributed, most of the soils retainmoisture throughout the year. Climate throughout thecounty is uniform; therefore, it has had about the sameaffect on soil development in all parts of the county.The soils in the county are mostly highly weathered,leached, strongly acid, and low in natural fertility andcontent of organic matter.

Plants and Animals

Plants, animals, and other organisms have asignificant role in soil formation. Plant and animal life

can increase the content of organic matter andnitrogen, increase or decrease the content of plantnutrients, and change the structure and porosity of thesoils.

Plants recycle plant nutrients, accumulate organicmatter, and provide food and cover for animal life. Theystabilize the surface layer so that soil-formingprocesses can continue. They also stabilize theenvironment for soil-forming processes by protectingthe soil from extremes in temperature.

The soils in Taylor County formed under asuccession of plants. This succession is still evident inthe smooth cordgrass and black rush in the marshlands,the big cordgrass and giant cutgrass in the brackish-water areas, the hardwood trees and cypress in the verypoorly drained areas, and the pine trees in themoderately well drained and poorly drained areas.

Animals rearrange soil material by roughening thesurface, forming and filling channels, and shaping pedsand voids. The soil is mixed by the channeling of ants,wasps, worms, and spiders and by the burrowing ofcrustacea, such as crabs and crawfish, and turtles andother reptiles. Bacteria, fungi, and othermicroorganisms hasten decomposition of organicmatter and increase the rate of release of minerals foradditional plant growth. People affect the soil-formingprocess by tilling the soil for agriculture, removingnatural vegetation, establishing other plants, andreducing or increasing the fertility of the soil.

The net gains and losses caused by plants andanimals in the soil-forming process are important in thecounty. Fiddler crab and other crustacea continuouslyburrow and rework the upper horizons of Bayvi soils.Plant residue provides most of the organic matter forthe formation of the umbric epipedon in Surrency andStarke soils. Plants recycle the calcium in Wekivasoils and provide the stability necessary for theformation of the ochric epipedon.

Relief

Relief, or lay of the land, affects soil formation byinfluencing microclimate and water relationships. Soiltemperature is influenced by altitude and by theorientation of the slope toward or away from the sun.Relief affects drainage, runoff, erosion, soil fertility,and vegetation.

Even though the terrain in Taylor County is mostlynearly level, relief has a significant effect on the soils.Most of the soils are sandy because the parentmaterial of most of the soils consists of sandy marinedeposits. Because sandy soils have low availablewater capacity and easily become droughty, most ofthe water available to plants comes from the water

table. As a result, the depth to the water table isextremely important in the determination of the type ofvegetation that grows in a particular area.

The depth to the water table also affects internaldrainage. On the sand ridges, where the water table isdeep and the soils are highly leached, soluble plantnutrients, colloidal clays, and organic matter arecarried rapidly downward to the sandy soil.

In areas of the flatwoods, the water table iscommonly at or near the surface and rarely dropsbelow a depth of 5 feet. Organic matter is translocateddown a short distance and forms a humus-rich spodichorizon, or Bh horizon. This horizon is referred tolocally as a hardpan.

In low areas or depressions where the water table isgenerally above the surface, muck accumulates undermarsh or swamp vegetation. As these plants die, theresidue accumulates in the water where oxygen isexcluded. The residue slowly, and only partly, decays.The amount of muck that accumulates depends mainlyon the depth and duration of standing water. In somewet areas, accumulations of organic matter haveformed a thick, black topsoil on the mineral soil insteadof a muck surface layer.

Time

Time is an important factor affecting soil formation.The physical and chemical changes brought about byclimate, plants and animals, and relief are slow. Thelength of time needed to convert raw, geologic materialinto soil varies according to the nature of the geologicmaterial and the interaction of the other factors. Somebasic minerals from which soils are formed weatherfairly rapidly, while other minerals are chemically inertand show little change over long periods. The formationof horizons caused by translocation of fine particles inthe soil varies under different conditions, but theprocesses always take a relatively long time.

In Taylor County the dominant geologic materials areinert. The sand is almost pure quartz and is highlyresistant to weathering. The finer textured silt and clayare the products of earlier weathering.

Relatively little geologic time has elapsed since theparent material in the county was laid down or emergedfrom the sea. The loamy and clayey horizons formed inplace through processes of clay translocation.

Processes of HorizonDifferentiation

Soil morphology refers to the processes that involvethe formation of soil horizons or soil horizondifferentiation. The processes involved in the


differentiation of horizons in Taylor County areaccumulation of organic matter, leaching ofcarbonates, reduction and transfer of iron, andaccumulation of silicate clay minerals. In the formationof most of the soils, more than one of these processesis involved.

Some organic matter has accumulated in the upperpart of most of the soils in the county, forming an Ahorizon. The content of organic matter is low in someof the soils and fairly high in others.

Carbonates and salts have been leached in most ofthe soils. Because the leaching permitted thesubsequent translocation of silicate clay material insome soils, the effects of leaching have been indirect.Most of the soils in the county are leached to varyingdegrees.

The process of chemical reduction, or gleying, isevident in many of the soils in the county but not in theexcessively drained soils. Gleying is caused bywetness. A gray matrix color in the B horizon in manysoils and grayish mottles in other soils indicate thereduction of iron. In some horizons reddish brownmottles and concretions indicate the segregation ofiron and a fluctuating water table.

The translocation of silicate clay, colloidal organicmatter, and iron oxides has contributed to horizondevelopment in many of the soils in the county. Themovement of clay, organic matter, or iron is evident inmany of the soils. Examples include a leached Ehorizon that is light in color, a Bt or Bh horizon in whichsand grains are bridged and coated with clay orcolloidal organic matter, and patchy clay films on facesof peds and in root channels. In Taylor County, otherprocesses of soil formation are less important in theformation of horizons than the translocation of silicateclay.

GeomorphologyFrank R. Rupert, geologist, Florida Department of Natural

Resources, Florida Geological Survey, Bureau of Geology,prepared this section.

Taylor County is situated in Florida’s Big Bend area,lying wholly within a broad geomorphic subdivisionnamed the Gulf Coastal Lowlands (Healy, 1975). TheGulf Coastal Lowlands (fig. 17) are characterized as alow, flat, commonly swampy, seaward-sloping plain.Surface slope ranges from 1 to 5 feet per mileseaward. The maximum land surface elevation in TaylorCounty is about 101 feet above mean sea level (MSL)in the northern part of the county along the border withMadison County. Limestone and dolostone, covered bya veneer of unconsolidated sand, form the near-surfacebedrock in most of the county. The Gulf Coastal

Lowlands extend from the modern shoreline inland tothe line where the elevation is about 100 feet aboveMSL. Similar terrain has been named the LimestoneShelf and Hammocks in neighboring Dixie County andthe Woodville Karst Plain in adjacent Jefferson County(Puri, 1967; Yon, 1966).

The irregular, highly karstic Oligocene andEocene carbonates underlying Taylor County aremasked by a blanket of undifferentiated Pleistocenesand (figs. 18 and 19). Near the coast, theundifferentiated sands are thin or absent. West ofPerry, in the San Pedro Bay region, these sandsmay be as much as nearly 80 feet thick and containenough clay to function as local aquitards to theunderlying Floridan aquifer system. The top of theunderlying carbonate bedrock rises gently fromabout sea level at the coast to about 60 feet aboveMSL in the northeastern corner of the county(Alison, n.d.). Most of county is commercialwoodland or agricultural land. Near the coast, thekarst plain merges seaward into the coastalmarshes and continues offshore as a broad, sand-covered, continental shelf. Small artesian springsflow from the near-surface limestone. During periodsof heavy rainfall, parts of the karst plain may flood,forming a shallow swamp. Drainage from the coastalhammocks is sluggish and flows through a numberof small creeks and sloughs that empty into thecoastal swamps.

Most of the area of the Gulf Coastal Lowlands isancient marine-terrace terrain. Pleistocene seasalternately flooded and retreated from this region,depositing a step-like series of marine terraces thatgenerally parallel the modern coastline. Three elevationzones are described for the marine terraces in TaylorCounty. They are the Silver Bluff Terrace (less than 10feet above MSL), the Pamlico Terrace (8 to 25 feetabove MSL), and the Wicomico Terrace (70 to 100 feetabove MSL) (Healy, 1975). Imposed on these terracesurfaces are numerous relict Pleistocene marinefeatures, such as bars, dunes, and beach ridgesystems. The relict features can be observed far inlandfrom the modern coastline. They are composedprincipally of white, quartz sand.

The Gulf shoreline in Taylor County is classified as alow-wave-energy, drowned karst coast. It ischaracterized by very low wave activity, a general lackof sand beaches, and an irregular outline. Series ofsmall islets, or keys, comprised of limestone pinnaclesare common along the southern part of the coastline.Extensive coastal salt marshes, interspersed with afew small sand beaches and numerous near-shoreoyster bars, are at the interface between the land andsea along the length of the coast.

Coastal Swamps

A zone of low, flat, frequently flooded hammocksand pine flatwoods, rimmed on the seaward edge bysalt marshes, is along the low-energy Gulf coastline ofTaylor County. This region is named the CoastalSwamps Zone (White, 1970). It typically extends from

the shore inland to the contour line at about 10 feetabove MSL. This line ranges from about 1 to 4 milesinland (fig. 17). Due to a lack of sand input and the lowwave-energy conditions along the Big Bend coastline,sand beaches are poorly developed or absent.

Numerous small surface streams, most of whicharise in the swampy hammocks and bays in the

western part of the county, flow generallysouthwestward and empty into the Gulf of Mexico.Most of these streams are sluggish, tannic-waterstreams that flow in narrow channels and drain theinterior swamps. Some are fed by small springs thatseep freshwater from the carbonate rocks of theunderlying Floridan aquifer system. Extensive saltmarshes border the interface between the land and seaalong most of the coast. These marshes consist ofJuncus and Spartina grasses rooted in shallow,organic-rich silts and sands lying on limestone. Theyare dissected by small, seaward flowing tidal streamsand creeks, which can also be fed by freshwaterseeping out of the shallow limestone of the Floridanaquifer system.

River Valley Lowlands

The Aucilla and Steinhatchee Rivers are the largestsurface streams in the county. They form parts of theboundary between Taylor County and adjacentcounties.

The Aucilla River forms the boundary between TaylorCounty and Jefferson County, which is to thenorthwest. The river flows southwest from Georgia tothe Gulf of Mexico in a dissolutional valley of variablewidth, carved in the underlying Oligocene carbonates.The topographic lowlands immediately adjacent to theriver, generally characterized by thin Holocene sandsand clayey sands lying on limestone, comprise theAucilla River Valley Lowlands (Yon, 1966). Elevation ofthe river valley floor ranges from about 35 feet aboveMSL in the northwestern part of Taylor County to sealevel where the river enters the coastal swamps. Alongmost of its course, the valley is less than 1 mile wide.In places, rapids flow over exposed, silicifiedlimestone. The Aucilla River is captured bysubterranean drainage 4-1/2 miles north of U.S. Highway98. About 2 miles of the underground course of theriver is defined by closely spaced sinks. The riveremerges 2-1/2 miles above the highway, flowing about1-1/2 miles as a surface stream before flowingunderground once again into a sink. The riverreemerges in the western part of the county at the

community of Nutall Rise for the final course to theGulf. The river broadens as it merges into the coastalswamps near the coast.

The Steinhatchee River arises in the swampyhammocks of adjacent Lafayette County and flowssouthwest in a narrow, incised valley generally lying10 feet or less above MSL. It forms the southernboundary between Taylor and Dixie Counties. It flowsin a narrow channel that is cut in Eocenecarbonates, which commonly crop out along thelower part of the river. The river flows undergroundfor about 1 mile near the community of Tennille andemerges about 0.3 mile west of U.S. Highway 19(Puri, 1967). The underground part of the river ismirrored at the surface by a topographic valley thatcontains only intermittent flow. The SteinhatcheeRiver is a sluggish, generally tannic stream thatwidens as it enters the salt marshes near the coast.The lowlands adjacent to the river are typically verynarrow. They widen significantly in only one smallarea northeast of the town of Steinhatchee.Pleistocene and Holocene siliciclastic materialsform a sediment veneer over the carbonates in theriver bed and along the banks.

Stratigraphy

The oldest rock commonly penetrated by waterwells in Taylor County is marine limestone of the

Eocene Avon Park Formation. UndifferentiatedPleistocene and Holocene surficial sands, clayeysands, and alluvium are the youngest sedimentspresent. Figures 18 and 19 illustrate the shallowstratigraphy of the county. The Avon Park Formationand the younger overlying carbonates are importantfreshwater aquifers, and the following description of thegeology of Taylor County is confined to these Eoceneand younger sediments.

Eocene Series

The Avon Park Formation is a lithologically variableMiddle Eocene carbonate unit underlying all of TaylorCounty (Miller, 1986). It is typically yellowish-gray,grayish-orange, or dark yellowish brown dolostone,commonly interbedded with grayish-white or yellowish-gray limestones and dolomitic limestones. According toin-house well logs of the Florida Geological Survey, theunit may contain varying amounts of peat, lignite, andplant remains. Mollusks, echinoids, and foraminifera,where preserved, are the principal fossils present.

The depth to the top of the Avon Park Formationranges from about 300 feet below land surface in thenorthwestern part of the county to about 90 feet belowland surface in the southern part. Surface exposures ofthe formation do not occur in the county but do occurto the south in Levy County, over the crest of apositive subsurface structural feature named the Ocala

Platform. Data from deep oil test wells indicate that theAvon Park Formation ranges from about 800 to 1,400feet in thickness under Taylor County.

Marine limestones of the Ocala Limestoneunconformably overlie the Avon Park Formation underall of Taylor County (Puri, 1957; Scott, 1991). TheOcala Limestone is divided into an upper unit and alower unit based on lithology. The lithology of the OcalaLimestone grades upward from alternating hard andsoft, white, tan, or gray, fossiliferous limestone anddolomitic limestone in the lower unit into white, verylight gray, or light yellowish-orange, abundantlyfossiliferous, chalky limestones in the upper unit.Foraminifera, mollusks, bryozoans, and echinoids arethe most abundant fossils in the unit.

The thickness of the Ocala Limestone sedimentsunder Taylor County ranges from 80 to 220 feet. TheOcala Limestone generally thins against thestructurally high Avon Park Formation toward the crestof the Ocala Platform in the southern and eastern partsof the county. The depth to the irregular and highlykarstic top of the Ocala Limestone is generally 10 to100 feet. The overlying Suwannee Limestone pinchesout against the Ocala Limestone along a contactapproximately extending northeast to southwest fromnear the town of Salem to Little Bear Creek on the gulfcoast (fig. 17). North of this contact line, the SuwanneeLimestone is the uppermost carbonate unit; to thesouth, the Suwannee limestone is absent and theOcala Limestone forms the upper carbonate. The OcalaLimestone commonly crops out in the hammocks andcoastal marshes in the southernmost part of thecounty. Offshore of the modern coastline, a thinblanket of quartz sand covers the Ocala Limestone.Exposures in the form of limestone boulders andpinnacles are common. Dolomitized exposures of theunit occur in the vicinity of the town of Steinhatchee,along the Steinhatchee River in the southernmost partof the county.

The highly permeable and cavernous nature of theOcala Limestone makes it an important freshwaterbearing unit of the Floridan aquifer system. Manydrinking water wells in the southern part of TaylorCounty withdraw water from this limestone.

Oligocene Series

The Suwannee Limestone is an Oligocene-agemarine limestone and dolostone underlying thenorthern two-thirds of Taylor County (Puri, 1957). It istypically a white, yellowish-gray, or grayish-brown,skeletal to micritic limestone, altered in some areas tovariably recrystallized dolostone. Mollusks,foraminifera, echinoids, bryozoans, and ostracods, invarious degrees of preservation, comprise the

dominant fossil assemblage in the unit. The top of theSuwannee Limestone typically ranges in depth from asmuch as 50 feet below land surface in northwesternpart of the county to the surface in some exposures inthe west-central part of the county and along the Gulfcoastline. The unit climbs and thins to the southeast. Itdecreases in thickness from about 50 feet in thenortheastern part of the county to zero at its pinchoutagainst the Ocala Limestone in the southern part of thecounty.

The Suwannee Limestone locally comprises theuppermost unit of the Floridan aquifer system. Shallowdomestic and agricultural wells draw water from thisunit.

Pleistocene-Holocene Series

Undifferentiated Pleistocene marine quartz sandsand clayey sands form a thin veneer over all of TaylorCounty. They are generally less than about 50 feetthick throughout the county and thin to less than 20feet near the coast. They directly overlie the karsticcarbonates of the Suwannee and Ocala Limestones.Many of the larger and higher sand bodies in TaylorCounty are relict dunes, bars, and barrier islandsassociated with various Pleistocene high stands of thesea level.

Discontinuous deposits of sparsely-phosphatic,clayey sands, likely reworked Hawthorn Groupsediments, comprise portions of the undifferentiatedsediments in the northern part of Taylor County. Thesedeposits are common in karst depressions and may, inpart, represent Plio-Pleistocene paleosinkhole fill.

Ground Water

Ground water is water that fills the pore spaces insubsurface rocks and sediments. In Taylor andadjoining counties, it is derived principally fromprecipitation. The bulk of the water consumed in TaylorCounty is withdrawn from ground water aquifers. Twoaquifer systems are under Taylor County, the surficialaquifer system and the Floridan aquifer system.

Surficial Aquifer System

The surficial aquifer system is the uppermostfreshwater aquifer in Taylor County. This nonartesianaquifer is in the county only within the Pleistoceneundifferentiated sands and clays in the San Pedro Bayregion in the northeastern part of county. In this area, aclay unit of variable thickness semiconfines theunderlying Floridan aquifer system and separates itfrom the surficial aquifer system. In some areas, theFloridan and surficial aquifer systems are in hydrologiccontact. In general, however, the two systems contain

176

chemically different water. The surficial aquifer system,where present, is unconfined, and the upper surface ofthe system is the water table. The water table generallyfluctuates with precipitation and conforms to thetopography of the land surface. Recharge to thesurficial aquifer system is largely through rainfallpercolating downward through the unconsolidatedsurficial sediments. To a lesser extent, it is by upwardseepage from the underlying Floridan aquifer system.Water naturally discharges from the surficial aquifer byevaporation and downward seepage into the Floridanaquifer system. The surficial aquifer system is notused as a source of consumable water in TaylorCounty.

Florida Aquifer System

In Taylor County, the Floridan aquifer system iscomprised of hundreds of feet of Eocene marinelimestones, including the Avon Park Formation, theOcala Limestone, and the Suwannee Limestone. Thesystem is the principle source of drinking water in thecounty. It is an unconfined, nonartesian aquifer in mostof the county, where porous, quartz sand directly

overlies the limestone. In the San Pedro Bay area, clayunits may serve to locally confine the aquifer. Thedepth to the top of the Floridan aquifer systemgenerally corresponds to the depth to limestone andvaries from less than five feet in the coastal marshesand river valley lowlands to more than 80 feet underthe larger relict Pleistocene sand bodies. Thepotentiometric gradient is southwestward.

Recharge to the Floridan aquifer system in TaylorCounty is obtained from lateral inflow from the northand, to a lesser extent, from local rainfall percolatingdownward through the permeable surficial sands. Thehighest recharge by percolation occurs in a narrow,northwest-to-southeast trending swath of dune sandsoverlying karstic carbonates in the southwestern partof the county (Stewart, 1980).

Water leaves the Floridan aquifer system throughnatural down-gradient movement and subsequentdischarge through numerous springs and seeps. Thesesprings generally are in the river valley lowlands andalong the coastal marshes, where the potentiometricsurface of the Floridan aquifer system is at or aboveland surface.

The B horizon is in part a layer oftransition from the overlying A to the underlying Chorizon. The B horizon also has distinctivecharacteristics, such as (1) accumulation of clay,sesquioxides, humus, or a combination of these;(2) prismatic or blocky structure; (3) redder orbrowner colors than those in the A horizon; or (4) acombination of these.C horizon.—The mineral horizon or layer, excludingindurated bedrock, that is little affected by soil-forming processes and does not have theproperties typical of the overlying soil material. Thematerial of a C horizon may be either like or unlikethat in which the solum formed. If the material isknown to differ from that in the solum, an Arabicnumeral, commonly a 2, precedes the letter C.Cr horizon.—Soft, consolidated bedrock beneaththe soil.R layer.—Consolidated bedrock beneath the soil.The bedrock commonly underlies a C horizon, butit can be directly below an A or a B horizon.

Hydrologic soil groups. Refers to soils groupedaccording to their runoff potential. The soilproperties that influence this potential are thosethat affect the minimum rate of water infiltration ona bare soil during periods after prolonged wettingwhen the soil is not frozen. These properties aredepth to a seasonal high water table, the infiltrationrate and permeability after prolonged wetting, anddepth to a very slowly permeable layer. The slopeand the kind of plant cover are not considered butare separate factors in predicting runoff.

Illuviation. The movement of soil material from onehorizon to another in the soil profile. Generally,material is removed from an upper horizon anddeposited in a lower horizon.

Increasers. Species in the climax vegetation thatincrease in amount as the more desirable plants

are reduced by close grazing. Increaserscommonly are the shorter plants and the lesspalatable to livestock.

Infiltration. The downward entry of water into theimmediate surface of soil or other material, ascontrasted with percolation, which is movement ofwater through soil layers or material.

Infiltration capacity. The maximum rate at which watercan infiltrate into a soil under a given set ofconditions.

Infiltration rate. The rate at which water penetrates thesurface of the soil at any given instant, usuallyexpressed in inches per hour. The rate can belimited by the infiltration capacity of the soil or therate at which water is applied at the surface.

Intake rate. The average rate of water entering the soilunder irrigation. Most soils have a fast initial rate;the rate decreases with application time. Therefore,intake rate for design purposes is not a constantbut is a variable depending on the net irrigationapplication. The rate of water intake, in inches perhour, is expressed as follows:

Less than 0.2 .............................................. very low

0.2 to 0.4 .............................................................. low

0.4 to 0.75 ........................................ moderately low
